A very slippery slope given the way they sell and buy land for development. Thailand needs to start thinking of the real long term cost of their actions.

I thought Prayut made the rules ????

This is how to drive up prices of plots for Thai people so that they can not buy in many sort after places. Not a very smart move long term, more a sign of desperate action like the wacky weed.

Not the amount of money Thailand is skimming off the Tourists so much as the impression it leaves to tourists along with the two tier pricing. So tacky, TOT might think about a new slogan "Tacky Thailand the land of false smiles"

Well you never know someone might find it to be the best deal they can find after becoming persona non grata everywhere else. I am not sure if I would fancy investing that much in Thailand as I would imaging it would involve having rather too many Thais tied to any deals investments. Another large supermarket chain Tesco pulled out of Thailand in 2020 due to problems.

The 300tb speaks volumes about the country.

I need to visit to sort out my bank but all the BS is off putting and I don't fully trust that it will be as stated so sadly I will have to wait. I think anyone at TAT who thinks tourists will do this for a few weeks holiday are living in la-la- land.

Been reading how Thailand is going to do this and that with tourism for months. But at the end of the day it all comes down to a few simple things, who wants to holiday in a ghost country with not much open and what best is a big unknown as things change so quickly. One thing saying you're open for business but not serving much and you may have trouble returning to your home country. Until much more is done to vaccine more Thai people and get the numbers down it's difficult to see large numbers of people returning to visit any time soon.
