    Last week we reported that COVID-19 infections in 44 of Thailand’s provinces, which include Bangkok, have been increasing, with an average rate of 31,148 cases a day between August 7th and 13th, according to Spokesman for the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) Dr. Taweesin Visanuyothin.

    I Know. Let's try to bring in more tourists. Thailand's infection rate is only running at about a million new cases a month. 

     

    Let's waste loads more money by throwing it into the money pit of increasing tourism. Here's an idea, why not use it to help lower the infection rate figures.

     

    Trying to increase tourism is like trying to wipe your ass when the diarrhea is still flowing. Cork up the flow first before telling the world you smell sweet again.

    Yes I'm in Philippines stay 3 years on tourist visa just renew every 2months easy

    There is a degree of arrogance in TAT. Thailand is no longer the go to nation for those entering God's waiting room or wanting to flirt with beautiful girls.. 

    It's heyday came and went but yet the Thai government  act as if they are still top dog.

    They continue creating hoops and hurdles then moving them around making long term or short term stay really sticky and messy.

     

    I am not sure what they are trying to protect themselves from? Tourists and Wrinklies are their cash cows and should be given a red carpet not a bureaucratic minefield.

     

    If they just did the same as other countries where they want tourists. Allow entry for 60 days with a stamp on arrival as you go through passport control. Then a quick renewal system that allows up to 12 months stay with restricted reentry for 3 months afterwards. After that you need to apply for a long stay visa based on income, or permanent residency if you are married to a national. Simple and easy.

     

    Make the process simpler then people would want to stay here. Now the Philippines is the number one choice in most peoples books. 

     

    Easy,Easy,Easy...

    international flights out of China have increased by 200% over the same period last month

    International arrivals by all modes of transportation totaled 1.05 million last month, up 118% from a monthly average of 482,719 arrivals from January to June

     

    SO MUCH SPIN!!!  

    Just because people arrive doesn't mean they stay. Many like me use Bangkok as a transit point.

    Also people arrive by crossing the border to sell vegetables or to see family.

    Easing restrictions mean more cross the border. 

    International arrivals in this case could include a fish seller and his family from Laos pulling a cart. 

    And increasing by 200% can be going from 1 flight to 3. This also doesn't tell you where these international flights are going, but by putting it in this article they are inferring by association that these flights are coming to Thailand.

     

    It's manipulation of statistics and misinformation. You can't call it lying but it is dishonest.

     

    At least they are using real figures to make up this fake spin rather than the fictional COVID figures of the last 2 years.

    Via an interpreter, he explained his grievance that he got robbed and stomped by four men after getting drunk with a Thai woman he met two days prior.

    Looks like the next generation of dimwits is rolling in.

     

    "I've known her for 2 days so she is definitely not a wrongun. "

     

    Lucky she's a 2 day heartbreaker and not a 2-10 year job with Buffalo's dropping dead on her Dads farm 2-3 times a year.

     

    At least they left him his underpants.

    I too have no sympathy for those who can't afford to have 800k in the bank and use these types of agents

    Why do people think it's Ok to break the law so they can selfishly stay in somebody else's country.

    It's no different from someone making a sham marriage or submitted false qualifications so they can stay in Europe or the US.

     

    It hardly surprising this agent ran of with the money. Firstly because he is from Pattaya, and secondly because he is a criminal by the nature of his business.  

     

    For those who were genuine I am sure they will get cut a break. 

     

    But when they catch the agent he is likely to spill the beans for a lesser punishment so anyone involved in dodgy dealings may find there is no rock to crawl under this time. The feds will be coming for you.
