sscc replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The two Chinese festivals were on Sep28 and Oct01, and the extended holiday period were Sept 28-Oct 8. So Flights outbound from China to Thailand of course peaked on Sep 27, 28, 29, 30 and Oct 1. Then the arrival figures gradually declined. " THE Ministry of Tourism and Sports said today (Oct. 10) the number of foreign tourists arriving in Thailand dropped week over week (Oct. 2-8, 2023 over Sep. 25-Oct. 1, 2023) especially those from China with their total plunging by 29.47% " " Chinese tourist arrivals plunged nearly 30 % week over week " Chinese Tourist Arrivals Plunged Nearly 30% Week Over Week Statements like this showed the reporter understood nothing. -

Tourism confidence in Thailand plummets amid economic jitters
sscc replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Let's have some figures to compare. Care to Tell us how many tourists Vietnam had received so far this year ? -
The full article showed dozens of data, I found it rather confusing and decided to dig into it. According to "Gini" latest ( the higher the figure, the more inequality ) Germany 0.29 France 0.30 Norway 0.25 Sweden 0.26 USA 0.39 Canada 0.30 Australia 0.34 china 0.38 Japan 0.33 South Korea 0.34 Laos 0.38 Indonesia 0.37 Thailand 0.35 Philippines 0.41 Malaysia 0.41 Singapore 0.45 Hong Kong 0.53 Actually Thailand is the better one among ASEAN. As to what the new Thai Government is doing to help the poor, raising the minimum wage is one step in tackling the issue. . Remain to see if there will be more policy to come out.

Investment Banker Goldman Sachs Corp publicly announced two months ago about its long-term GDP projection to Year 2075. Future outlook of 2075 by Goldman Sachs is No. 1 China No. 2 India No. 3 USA All three are within 50-60 Trillion USD in Annual GDP . Do you think Goldman Sachs not under the population factor and not account for population change in modeling ??? -

Where are you impressed about infrastructure ? Vietnam or Thailand. Thee is not much "East to West" in Vietnam, long and narrow shape in Vietnam geography. Thailand infrastructure had been very nice for many decades. -
China preparing for war with US, Air Force secretary says
sscc replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Because the Biden Administration is very keen to see a war happening in Asia soon, not caring the location whether it is around South China Sea, Taiwan Strict, Korean peninsula or India China Border. Hence the Western media is doing its part in singing the tune daily of China so and so threatening. And frankly most AseanNow members had been brainwashed in following........... -

Yes and No, however your understanding and perception had been " more right than wrong ". True, China not attacked any nations. Not quite correct is the economics part. The media ( particularly Western media and English language media ) had pointed out China economic skid is on permanent or perpetual basis and no way out of it. Those in-the-know ( HK businessmen operating in PRC, HK as well as oversea ) had found that China economic downturn has actually been bottomed out and turning the corner this summer and economic activities had improved in Aug/Sept 2023. Of course the West media and English language media is reluctant and slow in reporting any news favoring PRC/CCP. Further, rarely had these news outlet talked about 'Chinese speed and efficiency' which is much faster and better than the West. -
" he's the darling of the Thai government. " ??? His daughter did not become the Prime Minister as predicted.. She did not get Deputy Prime Minister postings, and not get any Minister position among 30 or so postings. This family is currently not influential in Thai politics as the New Government sets to get going just now .

Her political career so far had been on border of failure : Leading the ticket of PT in the Election ended only Second. . The party by-passes her in PM nomination. Had not got into cabinet Ministerial positions among about 30. In 2011, her auntie campaign had gone well and successful. What had gone wrong in 2023 ? Thailand had moved on and no longer eager for Shinawatra brand. Her father kept talking about coming back while She appeared destined for PM. The Thai were uncomfortable about this scenario. Perception of her that she he was NOT capable doing things without family influence

Could Srettha Be Free Of Thaksin’s Influence? Academic
sscc replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Young Shinawatra is not Prime Minister. ( Millions predicted she would be in first 5 months of 2023 ) Young Shinawatra is not a Cabinet Minister of the new Government. Already answered such self-indulged and dump question. -
Did not find Young Shinawatra name on the list As noted earlier the Senior One had been out of it for years.

Economy takes centre stage as Pheu Thai-led coalition set to take office
sscc replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Neither. This new Prime Minister Srettha has very little political experience. But he has own idea. ( At least smart enough to play and keep his cards close to chest so far ) And much unlike the young lady with no political experience either and keeps calling up her father about everything. So they replaced her and not gave her the PM job. "Sold out", "bought in" were just agenda-hidden, badmouthing by the expat communities. -
