Is this real Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Regardless of all the lip service, Thailand hasn't actually wanted tourists for the past few years. What makes anyone think that Thailand wants ex-pats and tourists? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed in a chalet on the Chinese coast. I've never seen such beautiful clean beaches. I honestly cannot see why they bother to travel when they have it better , nicer and more importantly safer at home. I can agree. China was and could be a magnificently beautiful country. It's vast like America with history to boot. And, while I vehemently dislike much about the current iteration of Chinese culture, I can respect much about them. There is a reason China had the largest economy for much of the 18th century. And all of Asia has been influenced by Chinese culture. The Thais on the other hand... ???? Thailand seemed to assimilate only the worst, most superficial parts of Chinese culture to form whatever Thainess is - which STILL nobody will explain.

"only worst, most superficial" would that be money by any chance, combined with - what ever it takes to acquire it as quickly as possible? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabarin Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) And then in another year they might see the light, make visa's easier, but then nobody is interested to come back anymore. Is like going back to a girlfriend who cheated on you. I bought a multiple entry, 1 year, Vietnam Business visa today for 500$ to prepare as well.

I bought a multiple entry, 1 year, Vietnam Business visa today for 500$ to prepare as well. https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=827419 Quote The previous visa agent who helped you to apply for 12-month business visa used a fake profile to apply for you. That means they created a company, and put all their visa Clients as employees of that company, so they can legalise the business visa application. But those Clients don't actually work for the company, and that company doesn't actually do any business, beside the function of being a company to apply for business visa.As I've heard, it happens more and more that those business visas are denied and the foreigners who apply for business visa that way (without an actual employer) is denied to enter the country. Hope you are american? https://vietnamvisavoa.com/en/vietnam-visa-changes-in-2019--what-you-need-to-know-a384 Because 1 year visas have been suspended for all other nationalities. Quote According to Vietnam Law, foreigners who stay to work more than 3 months in Vietnam, they must obtain work permit. With work permit obtained successfully, a long term visa up to 2 year in maximum is granted as per the Vietnam Immigration Law. It means that applicant is only allowed to issue 3 month visa as the longest validity if work permit is failed to be provided. Do you have your work permit? Good luck! PS: You can get the same business visas from an agent in thailand. PS2: Business visa is 135USD approx, not 500.

Bangkokazy Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) First group of Chinese with poor experience in Thailand. Telling their friends that Thailand has the same <deleted> we make for them and there is no freedom there. I spend about 7 months in Norway and see bus loads with china men and women. I read in newspapers that the average Chinese spend about 25,000 ฿ per day in Norway. Norway has become a very attractive destination for Chinese tourists. This year, a quarter of a million Chinese are coming here. Now, luxury stores are getting their own Chinese-speaking staff. Bjerke will now have Chinese-speaking employees in all its stores in Oslo. On average, the Chinese who buy watches in the store leave 338000 ฿ Edited September 8, 2019 by Bangkokazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifino Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 The best thing about Chinese-less beaches: - there's less cleaning up after them, needed... (especially to your own underfeet) - it's better to clean after them, when they keep to squatting in the gutters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
