Nattachit Oonsiam Appointed New Director of TAT- Mumbai Office

APPOINTMENT

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has announced the appointment of Nattachit Oonsiam as the new Director of its Mumbai Office.

In his new role, Nattachit will lead destination marketing efforts and foster strong trade and media partnerships across Western and Southern India.

Nattachit is a senior tourism professional with nearly two decades of experience at TAT. He brings a strong portfolio in regional strategy, international marketing, and stakeholder engagement. Before his posting in India, he served as Director of the ASEAN, South Asia and South Pacific Marketing Division, overseeing tourism promotion across more than ten key markets, including India, Australia, and ASEAN countries.

Nattachit began his career with TAT in 2007 as Secretary to the Governor, where he supported high-level operations and inter-agency coordination. His subsequent roles across global divisions have equipped him with quick understanding of diverse traveller profiles and market nuances.

Commenting on his appointment, he said,“Thailand and India share more than just proximity—there is cultural closeness, emotional resonance, and an appetite for authentic travel experiences. My focus will be on strengthening these ties through sustained collaboration with travel agents, media, airlines, and influencers across Western and Southern India, and on presenting Thailand in fresh, compelling ways to both first-time and repeat travellers.”

As Director of the Mumbai Office, he will oversee Thailand’s tourism promotion in Western and Southern India, including key markets such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

His focus will include destination diversification, digital outreach, and building visibility for niche tourism segments such as luxury, wellness, weddings, culinary, and family travel.

This appointment comes at a time when Thailand is reinforcing its commitment to attracting high-quality Indian travellers through enhanced air connectivity, bespoke travel experiences, and strong B2B and B2C engagement.
