Chongqing is set to introduce Thai-language announcements at major metro stations before October, as the city sees a rise in visitors from Thailand. The move is part of the city's three-year plan to make services more convenient for foreign tourists and foster a more international atmosphere. Currently, Chongqing's metro system operates on 13 lines, with announcements in Chinese and English.
The new policy will see selected major stations display announcements in Chinese, English, and Thai before the city's National Day on October 1. Chaotianmen Station and Xiaoshizi Station are the first to be included, with additional major stations expected to follow suit. The aim is to make the metro network more accessible for Thai tourists, who constitute a growing segment of visitors to Chongqing, attracted by its unique cyberpunk atmosphere, delicious hot pot cuisine, and natural beauty.
