    What most people don't fully understand is that Thailands economy is way more dependent on tourism than the 15% of GDP figure they loosely throw around. Its more like 30% when you add on the unseen intangibles.

    they have always known how much of the GDP was from tourism. They just never wanted to admit it. When the spigot was abruptly shut off, denying the real impact on GDP was no longer possible

    You appear to miss the bigger picture that without alcohol availability there will be no cake (tourists)in to put anything on . Closed facilities make for an unappetizing surroundings. I say this as someone who doesn’t drink,but I also say the die is cast ,the existing restrictions of additional testing and 1 night quarantine and the mire of ill thought through confusion surrounding them ,notwithstanding  the already started winter wave of infections in Europe and airlines handing back 80% of their slots - there is no forthcoming season. "It’s an ex tourist trade" to paraphrase Monty Python 

    I am not missing anything, its a fxxking joke, based on the irony of a guy who has a lot of hotels saying that they need to allow alcohol sales in hotels
