The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has announced the marketing plan for 2023 that will continue this year’s goal to revitalise and transform Thai tourism

If anyone follows the TAT and  their continuous tourist numbers that are always incorrect, which shows they really do not understand what marketing is or what a true plan is. Like all the other ideas and schemes they have come up with over the years, the track record of the TAT is abysmal. 

Any government worth its salt would get rid of the idiots in charge, as their performance is consistently poor. But this is Thailand and no doubt we will continue to get sensational numbers of tourists with questionable statistics, so they can continue to pat themselves on the back, telling everyone what a great job they have done.

Marketing plan. Please

You have never been on a plane leaving Saudi?

Once the pilot announcement that they are out of Saudi airspace it’s a rush for the toilets to ditch the sheets and get out the western clothing .

Yes that's true, plus the pressing of the bell (bing bong) so to order alcohol. Hypocrisy of the highest order.

Thailand has been urged to introduce clearer regulations on the use of cannabis following the government's decision to legalize the growing and consumption of the drug for food and drink products.

I am shocked.

Thai Democracy. An embarrassment to the modern world.

The reason for the obsession with hubs is that Thailand lacks creativity, planning, ingenuity and critical thinking. They are pretty good at copying another idea but fail to grasp the micro and macro economics related to the business. Basically they have the delusional idea thinking that 'they can do that , so can we'.

Hence the constant need to call for a hub. It is a shame really, as Thailand has great potential with its abundance of resources, great weather and strategic location in the world. But with this mindset and also one where the elite see the 'minions' to be treated as dirt and dispensable, I doubt anything will ever change.

Here is an idea. Sack every single one of them, especially those that have made stupid and ridiculous predictions and were totally wrong. Bring a new, fresh team in who can see past their own nose and  see that Thailand has great potential but not the centre of the universe. The possibility of success would be much better that with the current clowns in charge.

Dual pricing!? What's that??

 

It doesn't exist... just like prostituion doesn't exist in thaiand

Yes you are correct. It will be like.... but you don't understand us blah bl;ah. Like Thai democracy.  We do understand you and know what dual pricing is. We disagree and see it as a complete injustice. You can see why many joke and call it 'Lieland'. The sad thing it is often so true.

Again another pipe dream. How many football stadiums are there in Thailand that match FIFA's standards. Yes they can build some more but that will take a lot of investment. Maybe the TAT can get involved and give us some more of their amazing 'hopium' with predicted numbers and revenue earned.

I disagree. 

I am white but get the Thai price. If it were a racial policy, I wouldn't get it.

But are you not a Thai citizen as you have claimed here a few times? You are being disingenuous with your answer.

Please take the rest of the year off. You will not be missed.

It's amusing to see just how unorganised they are. ????

Yes extremely amusing but also very predictable. As use as a chocolate fireguard. Always have been and seems in the future will still be useless.

Thailand has begun a campaign to attract international tourists, and especially Japanese travelers, using the popularity of homegrown productions of "boys' love," or BL dramas, as a drawcard.

Well the TAT are notorious for coming up with the most outlandish rubbish you can ever here. I guess this is another gem.

6 million Japanese tourists coming next month for sure.

Sorry you are stuck there. But its good news for everyone else, especially us in Thailand?

I get your point. I am not a tourist. Thailand is the place I call home. Once my contract is up I will be back home.

Is it good for Thailand? I am unsure. With the current mindset of the clowns in charge, as they seem they would rather see the place in the gutter than admit they are wrong or make any improvements.

So the tourism industry will continue to decline and the TOT/Government will continue to give me my daily/weekly laughter medicine with their constant ridiculous forecasts and statements.
