    Guess the strong baht and the trade war are of influence, but there are more factors esp. for repeat visitors.

     

    - Dangers on the roads

    - Scams every place you visit (even Thai people get scammed everywhere)

    - Pollution of streets and beaches, etc......

    - Over inflated prices and taxation products foreigners use

    - Higher prices for foreigners for instance national parks

    - Grudge against foreigners

    - Political climate

    - Justice only for the rich

     

    I can list a lot more and I know that other countries will also have problems, but Thailand has reached the top now.

    I feel sorry for all the expats because for them it's even worse because of the TM hassle. 

     

    I used to work in Bangkok for ten years and was a regular visitor in the last couple of years, now it's time to go visit other places until Thailand will make some drastic changes. But that won't happen.

    How do any of your eight suggestions affect the figures for this year more than previous years?I have two friends who have been visiting regularly for years, one has decided to cut his visits from four to two per year and the other cancel his November trip altogether, both  purely because of the exchange rate.

    Drunks impact everybody when they get behind the wheel. Any moron from another country who comes over here thinking they can break the law because it's Thailand should be deported for life for DUI and if they hurt or kill someone should face attempted murder/murder charges. There has been enough information and tragic strories world wide to justify this and especially here. I saw the other day that they give a medical prior to issuance of OA visa with drug addiction flagged as a possible reason for refusal. I'd like to see liver enzymes function tests included in this medical which can show alcohol abuse. There is no difference between alcohilism and drug addiction except that alcoholism causes way more damage.

    How many tourists are driving?

      Would never get, say the BBC forecasting worng, at all, ever, would you?  Hurricane, what hurricane Mr Fish? But that would not fit with the anti-Thai narrative, would it?

     

    What a strange comment --- that Michael Fish event was back in the days when forecasters used to stick symbols magnetically on a map (not always successfully).
