Uk that is an incredibly high intake going by the weak pound,  I have to say though over the past year I have been to Vietnam, Cambodia,  Bali, and still my fav is Thailand, The people are what makes it great, next I will try India as the au is still reasonable over there,  but only to Goa.

Well if this doesn't warrant a tip to Italy for the Tourism Minister, I don't know what does.

They all look like 4.00am stayers, don't they! 

Scrap the junket, Phuket is doing fine.

Oh, I forgot. 

Its Indians. 

One drink, four straws, no tips.

Arrivals from India from January – July, compared to the same period in 2018, grew 354%, amassing a total of 186,360 arrivals.

 

What percentage went back to India?

TAT will probably come up with a figure of more than a few 100%.

I worked in India, New Delhi, about 10 years ago. Now Thailand could not be called clean, compared to Norway or Switzerland for example, or many European countries, but many cities in India are very dirty compared to say Bangkok. Thailand could be considered a 2nd world country, Indonesia a 3rd world country, as are many SE Asian countries, probably except Singapore, but India or certain parts are 4th world. I was on my way to work one day out of the city and I saw what appeared to be a dead body (human), I was in a car so I didn't stop. On My way home the body was still there covered in flies. Now that something you don't see every day. Hygiene in India is almost non existent.

 

I worked and lived in India for couple of years. The statistic at the time was that 25% of the 1.4 billion population didn't have access to a toilet. They were therefore forced to defecate and unrinate in the street, on pavements, doorways, fields, parks or where ever they could!

 

I remember the local MD's secretary saying she had to leave on time Wednesday because that was bath night! They openly said all the secretaries wore flowers in their hair every day to mask the body odor smells! Running water is a luxury there.

 

Not the fault of the people, they make the best with what they've got. But, it creates habits. Personal hygiene and sanitary conditions isn't high on their priorities!
