Orac Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 If she is so good, why did Australia beat Thailand in the soccer?Nobody is that bad - maybe the clue is in the match fixing scandal currently brewing.Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrec Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Minister for Tourism right, my 90 visa run returning to Suvarnabhumi airport on Monday Nov 27 at 3:30 pm. Glad the PM got my complaint about this ridiculous immigration queue and replaced her; 1 & 1/2 hours of my life I will never get back. With all due respect to the PM promoting Thailand 4.0, I think the more urgent need is for him to fix Thailand's 1.0 services, they are so broke, this immigration queuing issue has become " ubiquitous ".

He wasn't suggesting that they were asked about their holiday! "Just ask most Brits back home these days about a holiday here and what do they say, You must be joking." To me, that comment has nothing at all to do with "alleged evidence of false tourist figures". It is simply a statement that says:- "if you ask most Brits .............. oh, never mind! Sorry, wakeupplease, I believe this guy is twisting your words to suit his agenda. I did try, maybe you might be able to do a better job!

I think that you are being deliberately obtuse - the comment that was made clearly meant that if you asked most Brits back home if they would want to have a holiday in Thailand, they would not be interested, did not want to know, "not on your nellie", no thank you, no chance etc etc etc. The thread had not deteriorated into a discussion about tourist numbers - that's just the way you see it - your agenda, if you like. Other things were discussed about the woman's lack of results in many areas - not just about tourist numbers, not about people who have already had a holiday in Thailand, as you misread it, but merely a comment that "if you asked most Brits back home ..................." Oh, I give up! As a couple of other posters have done, so you can get back to your tourist numbers - true or false. P.S.

The reality says it all. Indeed, and also judged on some of the ridiculous comments/"promises" that she made - some of which have already been commented on already. What do you think is the most outrageous one? Personally I like:- "Thai tourism minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul is now pinning her hopes on Pokemon Go to keep the tourism industry afloat". Or:- "'Thailand is closed to sex trade', says country’s first female tourism minister" Edited December 1, 2017 by sambum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 she bett on the wrong horse, mass tourism - chineseQuite a few Chinese tourist here on Ko Lipe spending loads of money. The western tourists are being replaced by Chinese and other nationals who go on shorter holidays but spend the same or more than Western tourists. I been on a dive bout full of Chinese (scuba) and that is not cheap.All this moaning is about less white faves other upcoming economies taking on the slack.They don't need white faces other Asians will do too. If our currencies were stronger the white faces would be back in no time.For those never having visited Koh Lipe its an reasonably expensive place compared to other parts of Thailand. In previous years i saw more white faces now i see more Asians even Thais (on Holliday).So the Brits mentioned here are of no consequence others picked up the slack. As for the sex industry so loved by the older white generation its becoming less because of white older tourist numbers dropping because of the exchange rate and prices going up as many ladies can now make money in other jobs.Personally i lost interest in the sex industry quite fast after living here. I was relatively young 30ies and did not have to pay to get laid. Maybe if im older ill miss it if i still want to have sex with girls half my age or younger.The time us whites meant something is rapidly comming to an end with lower exchange rates and other upcoming economies.Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
