Weerasak Kowsurat yesterday stepped down as chairman of the Tourism Authority of Thailand's board in a bid to ease internal conflict following a reshuffle of TAT executives.
He submitted a letter of resignation to Tourism and Sports Minister Chumpol Silapa-archa.
Weerasak has reportedly accepted a new job as president of the International Institute for Trade and Development (ITD), a public organisation.
As TAT chairman, Weerasak was given until today to revamp an executive reshuffle made last Wednesday.
Prasert Vorapitak, president of the TAT's labour union, said Weerasak should explain the reshuffle, because the union felt it was unfair to some executives.
The board appointed deputy governor Auggaphol Brickshawana to act as an adviser to the TAT and switched four deputy governors. Auggaphol is reportedly in line to become the next governor.
Prasert said Weerasak backed the shake-up.
