    Not to mention that 'anything' can be a suicide in the eyes of the BiB, if it suits them, incl. someone hanging from a bridge, plastic bag over the head, and hands tied behind the back...

    Yes, they really love the Chinese, we know that already! Wasn't the ED Visa scoffed at in the media not so long ago, as it was, supposedly, misused by some? But yes, if the Chinese have it, the red carpet gets rolled out...

    Wait till the IUSW gets sued for defamation in Thailand. Sex workers?? No such thing...

    New BMWs, villas, and Rolexes being ordered while we still talk about it, and Somchai Doe (of 95% 'lower class') not getting one satang of it...

    Of course they do, but this proposal has nothing to do with higher airport-costs, or tourism-industry improvements, or insurance, but is (in the latest proposal) purely a money-grab, cause there are "too many tourists", despite TAT's very frequent announcements about plans to attract like 80 million international tourists, or more.

    That's good and fair. And I will remind myself to cut one of my expenses by 300 baht to compensate, every time I travel to Thailand. 😆

    It's only a question of time till the likes of Asean Now get shut down, and YouTube, FB, and X get blocked like in big brother's country...

    Ban him for life; he dared to criticise something related to Thailand!
  9. StayinThailand2much
    "Baht Slides: Economic Impacts for Thailand" More bl**dy cheapo tourists... 🙄

    And yet, wasn't the word only a few days ago that there are 'too many tourists, and the Tourism Minister should take action'? So, why is there still a need for promotion, or do certain parties in Thailand get a cut from the promotion budget?
  11. StayinThailand2much
    It's simple, they just assumed that each tourist (all singles, obviously) spent 1,000 baht on accommodation per night, and 800 baht per day on food and beverages...

    15+ hours return (for the driver); good luck finding a taxi at Suvarnabhumi for such a trip. Of course, if you offer enough cash, you might get lucky... Probably you'd have to offer at least eight or ten thousand baht.

    I just learnt that 'Bora Bora' is a country. Wonder, whether, adding Tahiti and other islands, French Polynesia could have come close to Thailand's ranking...
  14. StayinThailand2much
    Was this sponsored by the TAT like other recent 'news' reports about Thailand as a destination?
  15. StayinThailand2much
    LOL. 'Interests' and searches mean nothing if they don't result in actual bookings... I often check out accommodations on Agoda, or tours on other websites, but only go through with the booking once in a while.

    I'm sure he brought them in when travelling here by plane... 😝
  17. StayinThailand2much
    And the TAT and government want 80 million foreign tourists, or roughly three times the number they got over the past year! Nuff said... Perhaps they should invest into infrastructure (besides the airports) for once.
  18. StayinThailand2much
    Yes, me too. Was pulled aside and questioned for up to half an hour at three immigration checkpoints in early 2020. Left Thailand later for about six months. After that no issues, and I got a long-term visa following that.

    It's not about those people in the North East, but the few greedy upper-class billionaires who want to add 300 baht times X to their already outrageous fortune...
  20. StayinThailand2much
    Didn't the TAT announce in the past that Pattaya tourists come for the temples?
  21. StayinThailand2much
    That's exactly what they want. No pesky tourists, or 'having to play the host'... No, all they want is grabbing as much money with a minimum of effort from their 'guests'. And more and more tourists learn it the hard way, visiting only once...
  22. StayinThailand2much
    Perhaps they mean the large numbers of Chinese tourists buying up all the cheap snacks and instant noodles at Big C... 😄
  23. StayinThailand2much
    I remember well, how Anutin called (Western) foreigners "dirty", and asked Thais to stay well away from them not so long ago... Add how dirty and polluted the country is, overpriced compared to neighbouring countries, and the changed attitude of Thai women. - Yes, I really want to be fleeced more for all this... Not! - This is not the 1980s where there were limited other destination choices in the region.
  24. StayinThailand2much
    If one has been here long or often enough, one will know that Thai greed knows no limits. If successful, those 300-baht fees would quickly be doubled and tripled...
  25. StayinThailand2much
    Seems, they are believing their own propaganda and fantasy numbers... "We want 80 million tourists", and each one should pay 300 (or why not 3,000?) baht.
