Tourist arrivals in Thailand surge 43% to 3.1 million in October
darksidedog replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand has a way of pulling numbers from anywhere and lobbing them out to prove their "specialness." For the Thais who depend on tourism for their income, I am happy to see an upswing, though I have serious doubts that all of those arrivals were actually tourists. It is improving. You can only hope the early arrivals don't get fleeced rotten, as was common behaviour before, so the trend can continue in a positive manner. -
At no point is the river there more than 1km across, so I suspect much of it will be covering a lot of that distance traveling downstream with the current, which he simply has to swim across. Fair play to him though, because while he has proved already to be a competent swimmer, that will be fast flowing water.
