seriously ?

 

That's the result of having racist fools running the country and mindless idiots who don't know were their income comes from, I hope western tourists go elsewhere for a very long time after the vicious racism seen recently

How about treating the dirty Farang with more respect, get rid of dual pricing and actively abolishing scams.  That would be a small start.  And find a way of reducing the girls overcharging for opening their legs, with mostly rubbish service.

i think it is way beyond that

Idiots. When they remove the COVID-19 "certificate" requirement, plus 100K USD insurance requirement, they may get some tourists back.

They don't seem to realise airlines worldwide have drastically curtailed services, because they have no passengers.

Even worse. They had better hope not too many countries follow Australia's initiative, announced today. They have banned international travel for 6 months, until October.

 

The way they word this report it's like tourists are going somewhere else and need to be lured back to Thailand. There are no tourists and won't be any for quite some time. Where will they come from? Maybe Chinese and Indian tourists only. The oil rich Middle Eastern countries have taken a huge pay cut with near zero oil prices, so they may be out too.

 

Assuming Thailand had normal tourist numbers in January and February and half in March and then until the end of the year, zero tourists, that's an 80% drop at least.

Maybe it has not occurred to you that you may be the problem, not the girls. If you are fat, smelly, dressed like a hobo, drunk, or aggressive, it's somewhat unreasonable to expect enthusiasm.

That's me (you forgot bald), but I do expect the money to generate a certain amount of 'Romance'.

That's because everybody is locked up. I think the guarantee is they'll throw you in a quarantine until you return back where you came from - without the $ you had. Pretty safe.

I must admit, when the wife and I leave the moo ban and head into the town market, I have encountered a few strange looks. But once they see those magical, colorful slips of paper coming out of my bag, now running in short supply, we're back in the Land of Smiles. ????

By changing the slogan  from  Amazing  Thailand to , NEW Amazing  Thailand, even fooled  me and I wrote it! 

[connda]

Will the TAT be offering free soap for the dirty farangs as well as a Welcome to Thailand Quarantine gift pack and a two meter bamboo stick to allow farang to properly social distance.  Oh, and of course, an Anutin monogrammed "Made In Thailand" cloth facemask, a small sachet of laundry detergent so you can hand wash those dirty farang clothes as well as a free Thai Immigration tracking program (for your safety)?
I can hardly contain my excitement.  I'll have to tell all my friends in the US and UK.
"Remember me telling you all that we were forced to herd like cattle to get a visa stamp during the deadly Covid pandemic and that some provinces either refused to allow foreigners in or forced foreigners into quarantine, or subjected them to special testing protocol and home visits simply based on their race?  It's all good now.  Thailand loves you again.  Come back and spend money!!!"

By mandating that you download a Thai government tracking program and have it enabled 24/7 during your stay in Thailand - for your protection of course?

Phew, just about when another wave might hit Europe.

 

We will give them Corona in October then. ????

 

Maybe they just shut down forever?

 

(sarcasm, they should open in July like all the others, anything else is insane).

Ok sure (not)... July and August are the 2 high season months in Europe . By far majority of countries in Europe ( Eastern side of Europe is better ) are heavily hit , and you think they going to let tourism in these months to go ahead ? Tourism with packed beaches in Italy , Spain , France or anywhere else for that matter ? You are dreaming ....

 

[Don Chance]

A Korean company has a covid test that gives result in 15 minutes. Test everyone when they arrive at the airport. Better yet test them before they come to Thailand.

Next offer free quarantine accommodations and free medical coverage if a tourist gets sick in Thailand.

Mr Theoharis says Greece could open to holidaymakers in July, adding: "Once measures are relaxed a good month will be required to prepare the ground for the [tourism] engine to get started.

"Tour operators are waiting and hoping we can come up with the right rules so that we can start bringing visitors in. We have to strike the right balance … be cautious, tough it out and make the best of it.”

All about China. They have been puckering up for the Chinese for a long time now.

 

When the Chi-sneeze broke out . The Thais were singing songs and waving flags for their masters to get better and promptly return to Thailand.

But have you seen any singing or flag waving for Italy, Spain,England and the USA when they started dropping like flies from the KungFlu.

[harada]

I'm not sure if the stats coming out of Vietnam on Covoid are true or not, but if they are I can see them leaving Thailand in their dust as far as tourism is concerned.

[inThailand]

Seriously, a guarantee in LOS? Is this a late April fools joke?

 

Doesn't a LOS guarantee = I owe you, that results in sh.. out of luck?

 

Can't wait to see how this pans out. The comedy never stops here.

Incredibly yes.

I once receive a tax rebate from the Thai tax office for 10,000 Baht. Mind you, it was nearly twenty years ago.

You're absolutely right. No one can get a test in most places unless they are sick. This is laughable. 
Looking into Aruba for the summer.

I see now what I was doing wrong when I was on the bar scene. Quite a few of the women wanted the relationship to go past short time/long time. Difficult to disengage.
