Lots of responses here...
1) [Response to: '10 Indians' comment] You would need 10 Westerners (or more) to replace a decent spending Indian tourist - see what I did there ? - wealthy tourists of every nationality also visit Thailand... (not sure what the traffic argument, was, are you suggesting all Indians are hiring cars and blocking the traffic ?)
2) [Response to: 'turning away high spending tourists' comment] Where are 'high spending foreign tourists turned away' ??... If you mean 'Western Tourists' who now get a 60 day visa on arrival... then its never been easier !!.... no 'genuine tourists' are turned away (or, do you mean 'longer termers' ? which is different).
3) [Response to: 'low spending Indians' comment] 'High spending' tourist of any Nationality do not go to the same areas that 'low spending tourists' of any nationality go to.
4) [Response to: 'There was simply no need to stop the restrictions on visas' comment] - what visa restrictions ? in June 2024 the Visa Exempt arrival was extented to 60 days for toursts from many Western Countries ? - where is the restriction on 'tourists' ???
5) [Response to: 'Terminal-21' comment] - You are using T-21 and Central in Pattaya as your metric to evaluate the social-cultural-economics of the toursim market ? hmmm.. measuring sex pests against sex pests ?
6) [Response to: 'Bilateral agreements' comment] - I Agree, they exist... But your response is fundamentally flawed... British Tourist require an e-Visa to enter India (and get 90 days)... Thai tourist also require an e-Visa to enter India (and get 30 days).
- Indians to Thailand - Visa Exemtion Entry: 30 days
- Brits to Thailand - Visa Exemtion Entry: 60 days
..... these bilateral agreements you mentioned ??... It all seems fairly equal, What was the Gaulling issue again ?
7) [Response to: 'Thai logic - spend' comment] I often find myself agreeing with 'Thai Logic' arguments / comments... as the 'riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma' quote of Chuchill seems to ring true across many cultural devides and we can shoe horn whatever we want into our opinion when selecting a few experiences....
.... but really - do you find Indians that objectionable ????... really ???
I want to move PHP out of my Philippines bank into Wise, then into one of my Wise accounts. £, $, or €. I don't want PHP outside of Philippines, except in a Wise account.
