In my calendar says 1st of July. 

So.....good month to everyone. 

Can we just have some photos and some data from the Phuket sandbox arrivals......??!!?!!!!!

I mean.....we read so much about it.....every day a new article every day a new target....129.000 arrivals 8,9 billion baht revenue, after 29.000 arrivals but same revenues... (amazing Thailand). 

Did anyone come today?!?!!!! 

Because it's 1st of July and I always trusted the General and Thai officials.......Not. 

It is good enough information for everyone......perhaps the tittle was missing the point (Thai citizens only ). 

I personally know already that this article is about only Thai citizens but I wanted to read about it and I am sure that is very helpful for people who are married or have any kind of bond with a Thai citizen so for me it is a thumps up. 

Import taxes are there  for eliminate the competition dangers for  the made in Thailand products...... 

Import taxes  sounds as a good idea for the country economy and employment but in reality it is a monopoly for the elite that do not have to compete against products and companies outside of Thailand.......it is a monopoly.... 

Same 10 families own the 500 biggest companies in the country they can produce any products that they want without worrying about globalization and competition. 

As long as they are also owning all the big supermarket and they control the supply even if baht getting stronger and taxes stay the same they can rise the price of import products so people have to pay more or buy from local factories. 

Many things  that are made in Thailand are more cheap in Europe even thow we add a 24% in sales tax. 

Monopoly is the name. 

As for legalize gambling  the drugs and prostitution.......really.......i suppose you can do it......if...... you could find billions if not trillions of baht to put in hundreds of millions of brown envelops for the people with uniforms and the authority who benefit by the situation as it is now. 

1) 300 tourists every week is not a tourist industry opening for giving back to Thai people employment and to  hotels a chance to survive, it is a scam a blackmail extract money from desparate people who wants to return to their home in Thailand their Thai family and children.....and for the big money bafallo who miss the Teelak. 

2) 300 tourists every week would hardly keep a medium hotel open. 

Everything else in Phuket that is related to tourists from abroad and the tourist industry will just don't open because the numbers are not there. 

So the experience of Phuket generally this season will be same as an after apocalypse bombarded city. 

The only thing that is left for tourists is a 5star hotel and a beautiful beach.....but the world is full of 5star hotels and beattiful beaches without the ridiculous overcharged quarantine exc.

£200 for a week in Greece, no quarantine, do what you want and the food and beer is actually cheaper than here now....No ones interested in coming here anymore

No only better prices....better quality and better hospitality. 

Covid-19 is the perfect excuse to give an end to a big problem such as Thai Airways. 

If they really cared anyway. 

This company is in business only to care about generals hi-so the elite and thousands of employees that have been put in such a privileged job. 

An end of an Era or time for a big handout, changing Thai Airways business model and mentality isn't going to happen without making many big dogs sad.... So it is better for Thai people to be bankrupt and sold. 

Welcome to Capitalism. 

Supply and demand my friend.....the price of an item is determined by the money of people are willing to pay for it. 

It happened in all wars.....you don't have food to eat so some good "business man" sold you 10 kilos of rice for your gold chain. 

If government don't take control of all goods and control the "free market" many things will be very bad. 

It is the end of the Capitalism..... if governments in all world don't print free money and throw them from helicopters to the people......in about 1-2 months (perhaps more soon) thousands of people will not be able to buy food. 

And I am not talking only about Thailand....it will start from America. 

The top 1%......and especially the top 1% of the 1% of the world understands now that if they don't loose the lease to humanity and don't feed them it will be soon same what happened in the French revolution. 

P. S. Google why all flu virus are called Corona virus....and this is the '19....and you probably have to think before you named your product after a virus name (that exist from the 19th century).

Also there is no such thing as a bad publicity. 

Believe me....the same laboratory USA designed the virus and the vaccine...it is a multi trillion party....they will be selling it to a 7 billion customers obligingly  and yours and mine government will pay big money. 

Since they have it they can demolishe all markets and buy at a fraction of the price any stocks they wish few days before the resurrection of the world as we know it. 

It is business as usual from the same(10 families) people that are creating "democracy" wars around the world for making trillions. 

It is the most effective and cheap way for them to buy out cheap all of us.... With a stupid flu and the terror of the media They own. 

If this conspiracy theory of mine is not correct and the virus and media continues same style.... Prepare for military control in Europe and America because after of 1-2 months of self carantine the economy and the food supply chain will be destroyed and will be chaos and riots. 

Wait and watch.....who will came up (magically) with the vacin in a couple of months will be the "killer". 

And we all know "who's" business are the wars and the terror the death and "the market". 

A female friend of my wife just bought a new Toyota Yaris....never before she owned or drived a car in her life and of course she not have a driver's license yet....(thai driving license test in village is a joke). 

She paid in front 1.000 baht and have to pay the rest in 84 months plus interest of course. 

She is working in a Tesco supermarket in rural North Thailand.....she is "selling" credit cards for new customers that sign up with the bank and starts a new account with a new credit card small loan. 

She makes good money (18.000?) from her commission but she never get through the month and never saved 1 baht in her life.....always asking sharkloan money and many times asks borrowing from friends that not longer help her. 

Of course she can not afford the car and the expenses that comes with it but nor the bank not her really think about it. 

Almost all of Thai people I know have the same mentality and when the <deleted> will hit the fan and money dissappear things will be very very ugly. 

No morgeges no guarantee no income and loans taken with interest rate of 1,35 %......when (not if anymore) the perfect storm comes and economy take the downturn and people starting to default the interest rate will skyrocket and even who can before pay their loans will be not able any more. 

It all starts from poor education that keeps mass to kindergarden thinking about true quality of people's life....as long as they can shopping spending everybody can be happy....so Thailand will still spend and borrow up to the day that IMF pay them a second visit and kick them back in history of happiness-not after they steel poor people country

2016, stating the obvious... But in all seriousness what hope does Thailand have when almost all in a uniform appear to be very openly unscrupulous & insistent on spinning implausible theories on an almost daily basis.

The honest & hard working people here (and there are very many) deserve much much better than this outfit.

Quite often you get what you deserve

normal, thai are broke and full of debt. they can not pay back their new shiny car at 1 million baht and their new condo at 1.8 million at Pattaya Hill.

all they want is to get out of debt and bank will seize cars & condo.

Tell me, how many thais have a 1.8 million thb condo at Pattaya Hill?
