With ban on Alcohol, Thailand is going have some very safe and sober motorists!????

Possibly for expats and long time retirees who may have families or other connection and desperate to get back to Thailand. As far as tourists are concerned we are all going to hold on to our what little money we have, and spend it possibly in Spain, Greece or even Cornwall! for our two weeks holiday.

My Thai neighbours who were all employed in the tourist industry use to ask me why I did not wear designer cloths/watches/latest phones, or have a big car, when they were buying and using all the expensive latest gear themselves as I am a rich farang!
Now they are all suffering very badly and moved to Udon to sell vegetables, because no money in Pattaya any more.
For some reason the local people spend there money as soon as they get it and never plan for a rainy day.

Thailand needs to manage Covid-19 like China, South Korea and Japan rather then block visitors completely, otherwise the country will be in for a lot of hurt economically and with job losses. There is great possibility of Thailand going in to recession, due to covid19.

As a UK citizen, I am baffled by people investing millions of baht and making home in a foreign country, whats wrong with investing in your own country where you may have some rights! I have seen a destitute American gentleman in Pattaya, who was contemplating suicide because things have gone to pot. Please remember Thailand is not our home, never was and never will be. Thailand belongs to the good people of Thailand, they are entitled to do what they like and do, the politics are complex. Some Thai people here in the UK are saving lives daily in the NHS yet they have to go through many hurdles, prejudice and racism. No country in the world is perfect, but at least in your own country you are protected by your own kinsman and laws. By all means have a good long retirement holiday anywhere in the world but do not make investments in a country where you may lose all of it and more.

Thai tourism: Foreigners likened to fish that need to be caught to spur recovery
in Thailand News

Currently us fishes have no choice but to jump through all the hurdles, just for the opportunity of staying at a very expensive ASQ hotel for two weeks before we can even start our holiday.
I think most fishes would prefer to go elsewhere.
Please dream on.
