Backpackers snapping-up free Thai trip could buy gap year travel insurance

The authority has announced it is to give away free trips to five couples, including visits to the country's best beaches and most iconic cities.

Applicants should be "good storytellers" as they will be required to blog, tweet and film their adventures in return for the free holiday.

The call for entries to the Ultimate Thailand Explorers is open until October 15th and interested travellers are asked to create a short video explaining why they would be ideal for the role.

After an online vote, open to the public, the team receiving the most nominations will win $10,000 (£6,100), a Blackberry and a video camera to record their experiences.

According to recent reports Thailand's tourism industry is facing its worst crisis in years.

The Press Association claims foreign arrivals down 15 per cent so far this year due to political upheaval and the global recession.
