What about all the retired expats? I live in Khon Kaen and have for 10 years and will be heading to Hua Hin for a 2 week vaction this month. This is in addition to a 2 week holiday I took in March on Jomtien.

Foreign tourists, foreign visitors, tourist arrivals - all used to describe the same but all are different.

TAT, who runs this scam, claims that you will get a 5, 10, or 20 year visa. Nonsense! Only one-year and then apply for another year extension.

Thailand never had 40 million tourists. That number is 39.8 million ARRIVALS. Big difference. TAT preferes to use arrivals in their calculations since it is much, much bigger than actual tourists, which TAT has absolutely no way of knowing that number nor how much they spend - domestic of foreigner.

The sole purpose of the Ministry of Education is ensure that the Thai people remain uneducated.

I have always wondered why deaths that occur later in hospitals or even on the way to hospital are not included.
Is there some strange reason for this?
To keep the numbers down - save face - or tourists will stop coming

I'm sure this story will greatly increase the price of the amulets he sells.

TAT counts arrivals. Don't confuse arrivals with tourists or visitors.

Thailand Elite can call it what they want - 5-year visa, 10-year visa, or 20-year visa. In reality, it is a one-year visa that has to be extended annually. Same-same Non-O or Non-OA.

All part of the plan to shut down Pattaya as a sex tourist location. Once the bars shut/sell, the local government will swoop in and tear it all down and re-build Pattaya as family-friendly.

There are only 76 provinces in Thailand. Bangkok is NOT a province.
This article is like those during Songkran that list provinces with no road deaths. Believe what you want.

I heard the new group of tourists is going to be Martians. Free double-entry visa on arrival and a 1 kilogram bag of Hom Mali rice welcoming gift. Up to 70% discount at stores promoted by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) but not listed anywhere. Special prices for visiting the 55 second-tier provinces also promoted by TAT - you have to guess which 55 of the 76 provinces are 2nd tier. Martians will also be able to participate in the 5th phase of Chim Shop Chai (Eat Shop Spend all your money on junky souvenirs) since the first 4 phases promoting domestic tourism have failed miserably. Regrettably, the Grand Palace is closed for repairs but just hire any tuk-tuk and they will graciously show you to the nearest lucky Buddha temple and a nearby jewelry store. Enjoy your visit to the Land of

Sounds like TAT. Even though tourists from China, America, and Europe are down, overall tourist arrivals to Thailand are up spending 20% more than last year.

Except tourism is down - don't believe the numbers from TAT. Arrivals are not always tourists and TAT has absolutely no idea how much tourists spend - domestic or international. Whenever the Thai Government uses numbers, they are telling lies.
