Thailand strengthens global confidence with safe and successful Jimmy Pelletier (ฌิมฺมี เพฺลทิเย) World Tour Stage 5

The Tourism Authority of Thailand, in partnership with AFS Thailand, celebrates the successful completion of Jimmy Pelletier World Tour Stage 5: Thailand, marking a 47-day cross-country journey that highlights the Kingdom’s strong safety standards, inclusive tourism approach and readiness to welcome global travelers with confidence. From 14 February to 1 April 2026, the Canadian Paralympian completed a handcycle route spanning more than 30 provinces across Thailand, the only Asian destination in his 13-stage global project. This milestone reinforces TAT’s Trusted Thailand initiative, which advances traveler confidence through high safety standards, seamless facilitation and coordinated support across all sectors.

TAT Governor said, “The success of Mr. Pelletier in Thailand reflects the strength of our Trusted Thailand initiative, ensuring that the Kingdom is a safe, secure and inclusive destination where travelers can explore with confidence. Through nationwide collaboration, we ensured a smooth and well-supported experience across every stage of this remarkable project.”

Throughout the journey, TAT worked closely with local offices and partners to provide logistical support, facilitate travel and ensure a safe, seamless experience. Supported by strong coordination across agencies and the warm hospitality of local communities nationwide, the successful execution reinforces Thailand’s reputation for reliability, well-managed travel infrastructure and standards of safety, service and accessibility, which left a strong impression on Mr. Pelletier and his team, who were visiting Thailand for the first time.
