No,it’s simple incompetence and arrogance. The death of tourism in the country and the ramifications that would bring would spell huge trouble for them likely leading to their demise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only hope is that the economy crashes sooner rather than later and tourists can afford to come back but until then this is what to expect . your right i have just been in hcmc its packed chinese and white people there and i am now in philippines and again full of more whites i ever seen here english oz yanks place is buzzing chinese overload too no one going to a country people are treated poorly by and thats thailand i love the normal people there but rich clowns spoil it for all . They must learn hard way so why should i go to a <deleted> hole run by clowns exploiting people to get on and its fab here philippines on the up i been going here 14 years poor before but many whites never seen so many and drink now charge san mig 38 baht a bottle im spending far less than in thailand People know its <deleted> there now been going there 20 years like many saw the changes .Listen thailand finished for now ask the working class just trying to survive there and not good for them as many thais make just trying to get by but now bad for them .

Gee Ku Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Such a heinous crime to overstay in Thailand lol for 5 days! Arrest is not enough! Should fine him 50,000 Baht and five years jail! That will show these blatant foreigners we mean business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soalbundy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 use more draconian methods in arresting tourists for a few days overstay, that should increase the popularity of Thailand, let them feel the love. If this gets much worse there won't be any need for a visa, Thailand will pay you to enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohmakmaxx Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 20%......more 70%down,its quiet everywhere and the small amount tourists don't spend like before......

lmrenolds Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Maybe if the immigration wasn’t so “in your face” with number of tourist stamps, people would rather come back to Thailand. People are scared to come the Thailand mainly due to the reasons of immigration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caine Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Big spending and Indians should not be mentioned in the same paragraph. And what a contradiction the big spending Indians are attached by the relaxed visa fees. Who writes this garbage ? Last point the bargirls will be thrilled to find 5 of them waiting in a room after the cheap deal has been struck. Good look Thailand if you’re relying on these stinkers.

Yes that's the true it takes very long time to grow but crashes fast Rent is too much hotel's are too much and tax is way too much and the strong bath After you have problems but just build more hotels no worries And after the charming is gone too But it's the same as they can not drive a car or a bike but you can not stop them from driving in their own country As can not stop them in destruction of this its gone too far for too long But for all of us and the people here I hope they realise it soon and put an end to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNROAMIN Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 What exactly has Pattaya got to offer these days, the picture above must be 20 years old and doctored. Pattaya has been flogged to death by the Thais, and has lost its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ54 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 IMO having spent many years in China they like to brag about where they’ve traveled aboard instead of the same place over and over add different destinations. The easiest places for visas early on was HK,Thailand and Singapore were on the list. Travel agents handled getting group tours.... if you’re wondering I went on the tour once Because of family members it sucked. One of the gals in Shanghai office went to Japan I asked curious why Japan.... she said so her son could see it... he’s 3 years old.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got that right. I married a wonderful lady from Isaan. You can find them working in HomePro and Global House in Isaan. Not bar girls, real farm girls.

Bastos60 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 9 hours ago, soalbundy said: The article says 10,000 per day They said initially that the chinese were spending more a day then the falang, the chinese at the time were spending 7000+/day. Indians have never been big spenders in Thailand, the few Indian families I have seen in Pattaya, are actually mortified when they see the beer bars and the girls. the Indians that go for the beer bars and agogo's aren't big spenders at all. Maybe the first time they walk in and see all the juicy flesh but afterwards they show to be real cheap charlies. As it happens, my new girlfriends cousin has landed her such an Indian, he did spend some money as he fell in love but told her initially he was Malaysian, stayed in a cheap ass room, but tried to convince her he owned a laundromat. All fake news ofcourse, he gave her some money to open a pizza stand but even that failed, too much work for far to little money. And after his holiday was finished, he used the excuse he had to go to Bangkok for something and the next day he called from India he was back home without giving any money for support. The latest I heard he was coming back to Pattaya for her for a few days, gave the excuse that in India they can only receive money but not send money through Western Union (What a load of <deleted>), and he told her he needed to stay in MY girlfriends condo when he came on holiday for those few days, yeah right, like I am going to allow that to happen.

Indians are my only customers who ask for a discount of 30 - 40%. Westerners never do ... Get happy with your high spending Indians! I only wonder how TAT and friends make their calculations up.

That's absolutely correct. I dealt with Indians in a business capacity for many years and they wont stop grinding a price down until you're just about ready to kill them. They are shameless.
