But the girls give them and Arabs big discounts and charge Farang twice the price. The future of Pattaya is Indian and Arab. Good luck to them.

PAIBKK Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 So if Thailand had 1.4 million Indian tourists coming what is #5 in the list. Then #4 in the list, Laos must have had more than the 1.4 million, meaning that at least 25% of the population of Laos visited Thailand as a tourist... Does TAT now also count the legal immigrant workers from Laos as tourists or is 25% of the Laos population so <deleted>##ing rich that they go to Thailand on holiday??? What's wrong in this picture ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
