    This article is hardly representative of the situation though, is it?  How many vendors did they speak to - three?  Not exactly a representative sample of what's going on.  

    Jomtien beach has always been more popular that Pattaya beach, especially with the Scandis and Slavs, so nothing new there.

    Let's see a proper survey done all the way from North Pattaya all the way down past Jomtien and see what comes out of that.  

    As I said upthread, this rubbish article is nothing more than a puff-piece to drum up flagging business.  

     

    doubt any one is going to spend resources to do surveys at this point time. maybe more prudent that money on assisting the affected operators.

    No worries. Beach sport championships, marching band festivals, mass Indian weddings, hordes of Russian millionaires, Thai families (actually families from around the whole world) are all coming to rescue!

     

    Time to start building more hotels, more condos, more malls - more of everything.

    this will have to wait a while until corona issue is more clear.

  3. it is difficult to predict the future of tourism at this critical point in time as no one can for sure, determine how long it is going to take to control the COVID-19.

    all travellers are taking the sensible approach to stay in the comfort of their homes rather than expose themselves to uncertainties by travelling.

    unfortunately we all have to wait and watch how the virus issues pans out.

    I hope the government do nothing to assist them, other than sorting out the immigration hate on farangs, and stop bringing in stupid regulations that penalise guesthouses that cater to farangs.

     

    Agree - Leave them to their own devices, as they did when they were making a killing!!

    rabbi there are some times when some form of help is necessary.

    Thailand needs to follow suit with many other countries to ban China tourists. Catering to China, is going to turn everyone away. Looks like Thailand is wide open for Chinese still...even discounting visas. Need to walk cautiously to give confidence to other tourist virus safety. 

    i still feel it is better to diversify rather than become dependent on a particular country. in times of need, tourists will still keep on coming from other sources.
