Yes, it doesn't make sense. IOs at the two Bangkok airports were even out to deny people at the beginning of the pandemic when tourist numbers started to decline. Perhaps, every tourist who was declined should write a protest letter to the TAT. After a hundred, or so, perhaps the IOs will, at least, have to give a valid reason for this.

are we getting worse less humane
StayinThailand2much replied to Serenity_Now's topic in General Topics
It's not just the forum, but it's most social media, the negativity in mass media, and widespread cynicism in society as a whole in the 21st century. People and their posts on FB, Twitter, etc., are not any better. The demise of the family, loss of humour, and loss of compassion are symptoms of this development, which is ever getting worse. - I blame 9/11, the ruin of the middle class, rising inequalities, the Covid pandemic, and geopolitical developments in the past two decades. -

StayinThailand2much replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
2019 they had 11 million tourists from China, which is less than 0.8% of China's population, meaning 99.2% of all Chinese, asked what they think of Thailand as a travel destination, would answer: "Meh..." - Same for India. -

Tourism board, government, Immigration, Immigration at (certain) borders... They couldn't agree on 'when is lunchtime', not to mention a long-term tourism strategy. -

Wrong. Like many long-distance travellers to SE Asia, they could just visit other places in the region as Thailand is only one interesting destination. Then flying back to Thailand; easy. Ahem, well, never mind...
