The Government will be thinking of New holidays plus extending the old ones 

To get those Thais with money to spend

Never mind the ones with out jobs 

Cant see much happening this year Tourist wise International or Domestic 

I think people here mainly ex-pats must realise China and India are the rising stars for tourism here for  the future of  Thailand 

The days of the large numbers of western tourists in the 80s through to early 2000 has now passed

Hence Thailand looking forward to the Chinese for investment and Tourism 

Time will tell

What's with this guy the bomb threat before now this 

How is he getting away with this 

Theres  me thinking  of my 90 days reporting miss the 90 days or fail to report on time for my annual retirement visa of the  the consequences 

Then read about this guy ?

Still the no wiser are they loaned out or not

One saying yes Airbus saying no.?

I have my government  transferred monthly into a Thai bank account

And find it's at a reasonable rate

Plus when transferring from my UK bank account transfer  in pounds usually a better rate 

As if you transfer in Thai Baht the bank here charge 500 baht 

Bet they never saw this coming 

This is a airline which will never make a profit as to many people in high places have the their fingers in the pie

To many free flights  to family members friends ect

I have flown Thai airways and found their service first class but expensive 

Compared to others

Make him do 100 press ups 

That will teach him problem is he would proberly enjoy doing them 

Same as the foreigners in Koh Tao

Well at least the guy is talking some sense on future tourist arrivals 

Maybe   coming next year

I can imagine most people in western countries  will looking at getting back to work than thinking about holidays for this year anyway

A small price to pay for the Tourist to come to the Land of Smiles????

I think the Thai Tourist boss should contact Thai Visa 

And ask for someone to be on the tourist board  and  represent the views 

Of many on here  might get  some fresh ideas for the future 

Feeling relieved that my freedom of choice is back where  I can now  go the Tesco Lotus here and buy Acohol 

Very organised in the Tesco no mad rush  as by some I have seen as if it was going to be stopped selling  any minute

I do enjoy a couple of Cold Changs in the evening after my daily walking exercise 

Well I was looking forward to the opening up of Acohol sales tomorrow

Now read it's up again to the Provincial governors 

Reading one  has already said he is sticking to the banning up to 31st May

Waiting now for more to follow 

That's him snookered  now 

I remember a lot of years back being introduced to a bar owner Farang who was in with a friend 50% each

Plus he was selling his share of the business would I be interested as he wanted to return to his country of origin 

Thought to myself at the time if it was a good investment why is his partner not buying him out

Anyway mentioned to him I prefer to be on the side buying and drinking the beer

Well it will be Amazing Thailand if they get any tourists from Europe The USA ect this year

Who in their right  mind will be thinking of travelling this year

most will be putting off their holidays until this virus has ended

And here I emphasize Tourists as I know others have different reasons to come here

I was not going to comment on this as the usual greed comes in to

What am I getting out of this

But I just did but it brought a smile to my face thinking there is always someone getting conned

No doubt others will be coming in the future it never ends 

I am more concerned with the Provincial Governors having their say

The Prime Minister  can say one thing the Provincial Governors  a other

I can see some maybe  extending the ban while waiting to see how others 

Fair

Well it was expected so no shocks there

Plus I  hear from our local shopping Mall restrictions will be lifted

Ie more sections will be opened electrical goods and other sales which were stopped

The only question she could not answer was on will Alcohol be available 

Can imagine that one rests with the Provincial Governor 

Will be a bonus if its lifted 

It's quite amazing what people will do here in Thailand 

No  sympathy for them breaking the law

Deserve the consequences 

Have a feeling the alcohol ban is going to be  for a other month on bars and clubs they will be the  last to open

restaurants with spacing proberly will be allowed 

Phuket a few days back were announcing the grand opening May 1st

The government have announced only provinces with no Corovirus  in the last two weeks will be considered

Well that was a shock to the system Not

reading the Chinese will be coming to Thailand first proberly correct

As there won't be many Westerners  or tourists from other countries 

Contemplating travel arrangements for this year

Will have higher  priorities like getting a job ect

Well good on Dave and the others  helping out Thai  people in need

It's a personal choice to help others 

I hope its appreciated a big thanks to all involved
