Promotion of a unique diving experience on a wreck between Phuket and Raya? Did you forget about the King Cruiser already? She is a destination already.

No, but King Cruiser sank 20 years ago and no lives were lost. And it was only used as an example of the insensitivity often displayed by tourism bosses in Thailand.

Popular Post Moti24 Posted July 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2018 I think the TAT offices would be more of a tourist attraction; where else in the world would you find a more disrespectful, pathetic bunch of insensitive idiots under one roof! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they are at it why don't they plan a movie... they have all the ingredients they need... Can't believe it... tourist attraction... Stage an accident, no need for that plenty of accidents to go around. There will be another soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess tourists already have that place on their list to visit. I would not be surprised some already heading that way! So what is the problem, to adress the issue before it will be a problem? They an close the whole area, or start maning a good plan. James Bond/The beach? <deleted>? This is the real thing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Phuket, they could offer the ultimate shrimp buffet for chinese tourists - no make that the ultimate chinese tourist buffet for shrimp. Why do they always choose the bulb with the lowest light level in the chandelier, for the job as Sports and Tourism Minister? This kind of corpses tourism is disgusting. Will they offer a 14 day trip to the Tham Luang cave, Koh Tao, Koh He, and the most notorious balconies of Pattaya? Here is an alternative idea, of which I think the Sports and Tourism Minister may find it a tad inappropriate for his distinguished taste: 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought tiourism is booming, economy buoyant! Or are they? Could the deaths plus missing Chinese tourists be considered a tourist attraction too?! TIT, where money is more important than life... Paradise... Cough Cough... They can play Aerosmith's "living on the edge" in the tourism campaigns. This cave should have been safe from the start, so I don't trust the Thai government one bit to manage this location so that there will be no death or accidents in future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Unbelievable ! If there is a press conference at any stage, someone needs to jump in and ask what their minimal impact plan is - that should get them confused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy chappie Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Maybe when they get to re float the boat in Phuket they can make it a tourist attraction too....there's not been mentioned no intentions of looking at securing all these cave sites at all.the only talk is about how they can make money off the back of this ordeal and the death of a person.again no shame at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hey in the future a tourist can take supplies and just before rainy seasons starts, head inside the cave and make their way to the back of he cave then wait for the rains. A new slow suicide! Just a suggestion.. Maybe send in the Tourist minister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overherebc Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The strange thing is that people will want to go and gawk at the cave. You can tell me why, I don't know. I can see all the selfies already. 1. Outside pointing at the cave. 2. Inside in a group with the fake 'look how scared we are expressions.' 3. Bending down pointing to a narrow opening with them having a look of horror on their faces. 4. In a group outside with the 'we are so happy to be outside again look'. ???

coulson Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 2 minutes ago, possum1931 said: Why? The guy that follows him will just be the same, and so on, and so on. This is Thailand. Possibly true in reality. While his sentiments may be consistent with the mentality of TAT, that's not enough to have to settle for his behaviour. This guy really doesn't seem to have the kind of elk required to do anything for the Industry as a true ambassador. There must be hundreds more suitable to handle the job. This thread is a prime example, kids still trapped and hundreds involved in an ongoing rescue and he is personally promoting the potential for Tourism at the site. Just recently President Xi called on him to address the safety issues after the Phuket incident, which he had personally confirmed as a non issue a couple of months ago. http://www.samuitimes.com/tourism-and-sports-minister-confirms-safety-of-thailand-as-tourist-destination/ His only action was to relay the message while Prawit blamed the Chinese operators. Then the overpriced King Power facilities in Suvarnabhumi, all he can bother to come up with is - like it or lump it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I have an idea. Take all of T(w)AT to the cave for a tour and blast it shut. I'd visit that attraction to take a thumbs up selfie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Just how low will the Thais stoop in order to make a buck ? What should really happen , is that the cave is sealed with 50 Tons of Concrete and a plaque placed upon the closed entrance in memory and to honour the brave ex RTN Seal that lost his life trying to rescue these stranded kids As another poster said " a complete lack of humanity and compassion" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
