Surapong Techaruvichit, president of the Thai Hotels Association (THA), said owners who rent their condo units, resort homes and shared rooms on a daily basis using the Airbnb website should be considered in violation of the Hotel Act, since they rent their accommodations for less than 30 days and lack a hotel license.
The THA has asked the government to require those wishing to advertise their accommodations for short-term rental to register for a business licence.
