The information was collected by surveying foreign tourists in Bangkok area using mixed research methodology. Quantitative Research Area was assigned to collect data from foreign tourists using a questionnaire. The participants for this study were selected through the process of accidental sampling. The samples are the 512 foreign tourists who visited Bangkok from April 1st to 30th, 2019.
