    It has been for the last six years, hence the economic bubble that's about to burst.
    Covid was the last straw but truth be told the economy has been sliding for quite some time.

    We've constantly been told that tourism is only 12% of GDP, so with most people back to work now the other 88% should be looking good and keeping Thailand afloat, unless someone's been lying for a long time and it's about to sink ?

     

    It was 19 % in 2019

    Worse is to come especially if the Government do not extend the visa situation come August / September 1,000s of Foreigners will be heading back home there is an estimated 3 to 400,000 stuck here just think about the loss of income if they all pack there bags and clear off . I’m okay but my wife is stuck in the U.K. if things dont improve I to will be departing for at least a year until everything quietens down and the restrictions are removed I have already got someone in mind to live in my property and I’ll head to The Canary Islands and meet up with my wife. I will see how the next three months go but if I’m honest I cannot see it improving ☹️☹️

    Won't miss anyone who has to leave for visa issues.

    However, tourism and his income is despetately needed by millions of locals.

    If Cambodia and Vietnam ( and perhaps Burma ) play it right, Thailand will never recover to what it was. I'm sure the horde will be back but that's even more reason not to go there.

     

    Combodia is run already by the Chinese, not an option.

    The commies are not doing a bad job, when it comes to tourism, however, also there the Chinese are very much present.

     

    Myanmar - a big hope ! Beautiful country with fantastic people. Just hope it doesn't become a 2nd Thailand on the long run. But it will take his time for developing infrastructure, it is still a real 3rd world country.

     

    Arrived as one of the 1st passengers on Sumui Airport and still visit the island usually 2 or 3 times a year. Never stay in Chaweng. Like the beaches, hills and it's convenience, means everything is easily available. Prices are not higher than in other tourist places and my bungalow for 800 THB / night is excellent.
