Japan dethrones Thailand as top tourist spot
Thailand is what it is. It will not, and cannot change. Trying to compete at Japan's level is ridiculous. Thailand will stay with what it has - beaches, temples, cheap food and entertainment...and sooner or later, casino's. They are different...not same same. -

Are we really better than the Russians, Indians, Arabs and Chinese in the eyes of Thais?
The HiSo Thai people used to admire the British until the old British Embassy was sold off to Central, now we're a laughing stock. I think Thais in Tourist areas tend to group all 'falangs' together - so do not differentiate between Russians, Germans, Brits, Americans etc, and we're seen as marginally preferable to the mass tourism Chinese/Indians but not viewed as highly as Japanese or Koreans. Thai social media has created a poor image of Chinese and Indian tourists. -

Predator given ‘soft touch’ by Scottish justice system went on to commit rape
Putting somebody in prison costs tens of thousands per year and basically enrols then in the University of Criminality. He was 15 when he committed his first offence, and still a child. There was a chance that he might be diverted from the path and a humane ( Scottish - different from the English) legal system gave him that chance. Unfortunately he failed to be diverted from his downward trajectory - but with the British press, you'll never hear the success stories about the ones who took that chance to change their lives. Note the Scottish Tories' finger pointing, too. Newspapers have an agenda. Don't fall for it. -

Japan dethrones Thailand as top tourist spot
I don't even think they are trying to attract quality tourists anymore, they have given up on it. Revenue from tourism is down, so the Thai logic is to get more people to come in to make up for the shortfall - not realising you are digging an ever bigger hole for yourself, as you are just inviting in cheap tourists, as the quality spending tourists leave. Ex PM Sretta was a disaster. The new PM i doubt will change anything, as more than likely the decisions came from elsewhere. And none of them probably actually see the situation on the ground to even care. -

So can Thailand. Thailand has the weather and much more natural beauty. Thailand choses an addiction to cheap mass tourism. It could easily become a 'Barbados' and work itself up to a quality tourist destination. Unfortunately in it's panic after covid it has opened up to the world, removed all restrictions, and has destroyed the country in an ugly way. Yet they like to claim they have to so many visitors as though it's to be congratulated. If you invite people to your country who don't spend much then it's not much of a celebration. They have destroyed the country with the enviromental impact, the pollution, the mess, dirt, masses of people, ecological damage. Japan doesn't have the weather or the beach of a Thailand, yet maintains quality tourism. Malaysia does too to an extent (At least they don't let indians enter free for all). -
