Magazine and Web-portal ExpertAsia.Ru

А new project for Russian-speaking tourists and expats is launched in Thailand. In the recent years Thailand has seen a major increase in the numbers of Russian-speaking tourists. However, there is a gap in outreach of the expat and Thai communities to the Russian- speaking one due to the language barriers. The majority of Russian tourists don't have enough English skills to get around, so often they are stuck at the hotel or nearby venues. They have no idea of what Thailand has to offer apart from what their travel agent tells them.

Now this gap is being filled. A new Russian magazine and Web-portal “ExpertAsia.Ru” has a team of English-speaking journalists and editors, who will be working closely with local residents in Thailand, bringing the news, announcements, information on people and businesses in Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Koh Chang and Thailand to the Russian-speaking community.

This is a full featured glossy 80 pages public information edition about Thailand targeting to reach Russian-speaking residents and tourists of the Thai Kingdom and readers inside Russia. The magazine features interviews with the Embassy employees of both countries, information about cultural exchange programs and projects, announcements of important events, overview materials about cities and resorts, useful tips for travelers.

Among our readers we see businessmen and state officials, people interested in the latest economic and political news regarding relationships of Russia and Thai Kingdom, as well as Russian tourists in Thailand.

The Magazine is issued every two months and distributed in Thailand at places where Russian expats and tourists are often met. In Russia the Magazine is distributed in the state bodies, chambers of commerce and industry and tourist industry enterprises, airports and selected airlines.

ExpertAsia.Ru Portal & Magazine publishes TOP-LISTS of hotels, restaurants and other tourist-oriented businesses in Thailand. The ratings are issued monthly, and contain evaluation and advice on RECOMMENDED places for Russian-speaking tourists and expatriates. Selected businesses receive a stamp “Recommended by ExpertAsia.Ru”

Additionally, ExpertAsia Magazine is the first one in a series of periodicals devoted to various countries of South East Asia. In the future we plan to publish similar Magazines for Myanmar, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. This is why the first issue of ExpertAsia Magazine contains reviews and basic materials about these countries.

The magazine will be distributed in Russian cities of Moscow and the Urals; popular Thai destinations such as Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Phuket. Several copies will be sent to selected addresses in Pattaya, Bangkok, Hua Hin and Koh Chang.
