QR code to the rescue

BANGKOK Ministry of Culture plans to extend a QR code device service in historical parks, nationwide, to help tourists easily access tourism information.
The QR code, abbreviated from “Quick Response Code”, is a machine-readable optical label containing information about an item.
Culture Minister Veera Rojanarat said the expansion is based on feedbacks from the trial use of QR code devices for tourist information at three historical parks –Sukhothai Historical Park, Si Satchanalai Historical Park and Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park.
“The device has proven a success and will be extended to other historical parks throughout Thailand to enhance visitors’ experience.” he said.
Inside no.3The ministry aims to establish the three historical parks as the models of Culture-based attractions in Thailand and ASEAN.
Currently, visitors can easily learn the history of ancient remains across Sukhothai Historical Park, Si Satchanalai Historical Park and Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park by scanning QR codes that are provided at 50 spots around those parks.
The information is provided in five languages — Thai, English, French, Chinese and Japanese.
