mike787 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 What!!! Really? Shock? Tourist numbers decreasing, you mean like all the road fatalities, CM smog, polluted beaches, and mafia like immigration that thais are so deeply concerned about. Ah, right, ok! Sure! I'm sure Thais are deeply concerned, and I walk on water.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chama Posted July 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2019 Thailand has viewed tourism like it would never end, a present from the gods to be taken advantage of at every opportunity. While the cultural sites and the Kingdoms natural beauty remains a draw the nasty beaches, double standards, corruption, and now, political unrest, tourist around the world are starting to rethink Thailand as a vacation destination. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If tourism goes down for 2 or 3 years in a row you might have a point. But if the guys who say all the Chinese come on zero tours it will have no effect at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcnx Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Never saw that coming. I always thought tourists loved being ripped off at every corner, charged double, beaten up, robbed, raped, killed on zip lines, involved in bus and van crashes, and being treated like criminals with visa regulations. No idea why many don’t return. Vietnam has a 5% return rate for tourists. Thailand will get there if she tries a little harder and kills a few more. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNXexpat Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 When I read the comments it sounds if the number of tourists is going down. But no, the article says that there are coming more. As written in the article too, some hundred thousand more tourists are coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldera Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I think Thailand really needs to reconsider the country's strategy with regards to tourism. Those numbers aren't sustainable, and it's hard to imagine that those who are in the eye of the mass tourism storm are having an enjoyable time. Less is more, seriously.

Soikhaonoiken Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Me thinks the tourisum will become even less if the Baht stays as strong as it now makes Thailand a lot more expensive than other local Countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingRoundTheWorld Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I am literally thinking of leaving Thailand for a few months simply because it's getting harder to justify Bangkok's overpricing and the inflated baht making it worse. A bottle of Belvedere in a Bangkok nightclub is $164 - same bottle in Angeles city is $88. Food is similarly half-priced. The only thing keeping me here were good friends, but they are leaving for greener pastures too, so I'm thinking of following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think all the Thai girls are leaving for Singapore, Korea, Japan ??? Too many bars here not enough punters, Thailand has finally shot itself in the foot. Road safety, boat safety, pollution, violence, rip-offs, double pricing, politics, dwindling exchange rate price hikes in Thailand.. just to name a few reasons. If tourism flops here so will the economy, this is the time when the government should be looking inwards at new trade and commerce incentives, not flogging the old sex trade stand-by for income. But there's the catch, we don't have a government that knows how to run a country economically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
