​​The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) was a proud participant in the final two episodes of ABC’s “The Bachelor” season 27.

The show’s 27th season finale and highly anticipated final rose ceremony and proposal took place in the stunning Krabi province of Thailand, offering an unforgettable backdrop for the journey of love. From breathtaking beaches to thrilling adventures, the contestants were swept away by the beauty of Krabi while also facing challenges and tough decisions along the way.

“We were pleased to be a participant in the final two episodes of ABC’s The Bachelor, season 27. Krabi, known for its beautiful beaches and luxurious resorts, is a top romance travel destination and served as an ideal backdrop for a picturesque final rose ceremony,” said Santi Sawangcharoen, Director of the TAT New York Office and Acting Director of the TAT Toronto Office. “Perfect for honeymoons, proposals, and destination weddings, Krabi, and Thailand as a whole, offer couples an idyllic escape. With the removal of Covid-19 restrictions, travelers can once again easily visit the destination. Thailand has fully re-opened to tourism and there is no better time than now to plan a trip to Thailand to travel the way The Bachelor cast did, and to explore the country’s natural beauty, five-star accommodations, and extravagant offerings.”

While in Thailand, cast and crew of the show stayed in the luxurious Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort. This 5-star resort offered world-class amenities, including a golf course, spa, and several dining options, such as the elegant White Lotus restaurant.
