moonseeker Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Bit late I guess. A friend who runs a large Western tourist oriented business successful for 15 years with a bunch of branch offices in all tourist hotspots tells me of steady decline and accelerating last 24 months. He reckons to have to close down all operations within next 24 months unless the tide turns... Similar stories from many businesses...

BernieOnTour Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Just self-adulation... Or - could anybody imagine himself (before deciding about where to travel next) to check local newspapers for such ridiculous campaigns??? More likely: doing a thorough Google search about climate, prices, dangers, travel warnings and recent news ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted December 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2018 The tourists of the world care not one iota what the biggest joke says or does, and what kind of dog and pony show his department comes up with. Means nothing to anyone. The fact of the matter is, nearly everyone I speak to, whether in Phuket, Samui or Pattaya, is saying this appears to be the slowest peak season in a decade or more. I decided to go to Samui for the New Year, just today. I was shocked at how many rooms were available, how easy it was to get a booking on the ferry, and how many motorbike rental places had a large selection of bikes available. When I used to live on Samui, it was absolutely mobbed from the 15th of Dec. to about the 5th of Jan. Not this time around. Congratulations to the biggest joke, Prayuth, and the merry band of fools, for sabotaging a once dynamic industry, and doing everything in their power to discourage Western tourism. Once again the Thai people suffer, from an insufferable degree of hubris, arrogance, ignorance and incompetence. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pray tell us what exactly is positive about this story. Lots of big cheeses smiling and pretending that Thailand is still the vacation spot of dreams , yet doing absolutely nothing concrete to make it so. In their and your view Thailand is paradise , unfortunately a lot of tourists dont now seem to agree , will ignoring that fact make everything ok ? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as I expect from foreigners in my home country that don't meet immigration requirements, or are you also fine with that? The truth is that it's their country, and if you can't agree with the rules, you should not be here, and I'm pretty confident that I will not be shown the door by one Somchai and a pen stroke if i adhere to the rules. Check what happens very very quickly if people on student visas to Australia miss a class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time instead of having a 60 day tourist visa, she wanted a visa on arrival. She was given the third degree because she did not have her 'usual' visa. She produced her ticket for her return flight and again was questioned because it was more than 30 days in the future. The immigration officer then got shirty when she said she would get an extension at the local immigration office. They are military people. They know no grey - just black and white. And they don't have the people or customer service skills to cope with westerners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizboi Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 The best thing that could happen to Thailand is for no one to come for a year or two - that may change attitudes. Everyone knows its come spend get out mentality doesn’t make for a good holiday. Yes all countries NEED immigration laws but they don’t have to make it so blatant what will happen - most good people KNOW how to follow laws!! They need more sympathy and help for those with families trying to stay legally - until property ownership is relaxed people will always feel unwanted here!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
