'Robbo's' Thailand Adventure: Insider Journeys, Thai Airways International and the Tourism Authority of Thailand Partner to Bring Amazing Thailand to Studio 10

Travel aficionados are being encouraged to watch Studio 10 on 1 February to see the beginning of Robbo's adventures to Thailand, arranged in partnership between Tourism Authority of Thailand Sydney office, Thai Airways International and Insider Journeys.

A favourite reporter on one of Australia's top morning shows, David “Robbo” Robinson presents alongside the show's personalities Ita Buttrose, Denise Drysdale, Jessica Rowe, Joe Hildebrand and Sarah Harris. His Thai adventures take him through Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Doi Inthanon National Park before heading to the beaches of Koh Kood, Koh Kham and Koh Rang.

Robbo's journey began before he even left the ground, with the eponymous Thai hospitality and service on board his Thai Airways International flight.

“Flying THAI from Australia to Thailand introduces travellers to Thailand and to the unique Thai culture from the minute they step onboard the aircraft. Robbo's journey was off to a flying start with THAI,” said Mr Prin Yooprasert, Director, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, Thai Airways International Australia.

Domestically, Robbo connected from Bangkok to Trat with a VIP treatment by Bangkok Airways, “Asia's Boutique Airline”, according to Mr Chulin Kocharoen, Offline Sales Director – Europe, Americas, Australasia & Africa.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) was delighted to show Robbo the 'hot spots' of Thailand.

“Thailand always offers unique Thai local experiences, from cultural treasures in the North to underrated beaches in Koh Kood, Trat,” explained Ms. Rujiras Chatchalermkit, Director TAT Sydney.

“We always say… 'Discover Amazing stories in Amazing Thailand'.”

The Managing Director of Insider Journeys, Tony Mayell, concurred.

“It was terrific that Robbo and his viewers have the opportunity to see the beauty and diversity of Thailand,” said Mayell. “While Thailand's beaches are deservingly popular, the country has so much more to offer – it's truly a balance of cultural and coastal gems.

“Robbo's itinerary really scratched beneath the surface to deliver true highlights. From snorkelling and speed boat tours, to a night Tuk Tuk food tour, national parks, adventure activities and cultural centres, his seven days were jam packed.”
