Tourism Authority To ‘Win Back Trust’ After Chinese Cancel Trips

[hioctane]

37 Billion Bhat divided by 660,000 Chinese. Equates to a bunch of minge bags thats only 56,000 Bhat per person Thats £1296. Last month the British Airways return flight, Bangkok - Aberdeen was £1500. Either the figures shown are completely wrong. Or they really are a bunch of "Minge Bags"

You must be flying first class. Most don't even spend a 1/3 of that on a round trip flight. [emoji849]

Also, without knowing the average length of stay there is no way to even guess if that is good amount or not.

wow! remember when nothing seemed to affect Thailand's tourism? Much less the government copping to it?

 

 

 

 

If TAT is aware of 660000 Chinese changing their travel plans to Thailand, it begs the question of how many more thousands will simply not even consider a visit in the future.  I wonder if the Chinese will hear about the latest incident of another boat sinking with, this time, 30 passengers apparently saved fortunately.  If so, that incident will not inspire confidence that anything has changed.

So will the government join the dots?

lack of safety equals loss of tourist income when accidents happen.

Perhaps they should read today’s news also 

 

“In yet another Thai boat incident thirty people were rescued from a sinking vessel traveling between Ban Phe and Koh Samet on Thursday evening.“

I like your comment.  Especially the government gets so much money from taxes and hardly puts any back into community.

Money sank with submarines ?

Less Chinese tourists in Thailand,

That would be jolly nice. 

Maybe they need to pop a few more off to keep the current trend up.

Yes, I look forward to them doing nothing and then reading in a few weeks about how confidence has been completely restored. 

You have been here too long, you know the system too well!

I don't think they count airfare in the total because the money is earned by a probably non-Thai airline.
