You know Thailand a bit just as I. To be honest I do not expect to much of your trying to contact the TAT. They will most probably ignore it. I
I wasn't expecting much, but apparently this time they are more aware, because I received a reply from the person in charge. He is also editing on Wikipedia as [[User:Borndistinction]].
Those edits I suspected to be the beginning of this WIkiMission are in fact not from TAT, it was just a coincidence that at the same time they did that press release something like a school project starts. But I'd need quite some help to sort out the mess from that project - most photos uploaded are probably copyright violations, the new texts have to be completely reworded, duplications removed, etc.
But back to the TAT WikiMission. They plan to add stuff about the tourism-related topics only, they don't plan to delete criticism (which was the most serious worry) or insert any commercial things. The whole project is just in its beginnings, they are still gathering the information and anyone who would like to help them "doing the right thing" is invited to contact the above mentioned user - I certainly volunteered already to give my input. It seems to me that the press release from TAT was somewhat premature, maybe it would have been better to contact Wikipedia before and then make sure the press release deals with the anticipated points of concern. I am now much more optimistic this can become something which will help both the Wikipedia coverage on Thai topics as well as TAT's mission to have Thailand well-presented on the web.
