I'm sure if Thailand doesn't want all the tourism money Vietnam and the Philippines will. Billions lost in foreign tourism money will cost millions of jobs in Thailand. Directly and indirectly Arrive in the Philippines and you go into isolation for 2 weeks at your own expense and cannot travel domestically unless you have all documentation required by the LGU from where you depart and the LGU where you arrive, and there's plenty of it required.

Sorry if I used words that are too big for you. You're so right when you say, so unintentionally ironically, that some people don't understand rational thought! You say that the poll is not representative at the same time that you admit you don't know what the demographic was! You can't have it both ways, if the demographic is not known to you then you cannot claim, rationally, that the poll was not representative. You word sizes were no problem for me.

It sure wasn't part of the poll. 100% less 90% equals 10%. I'm aware of how maths works but what I asked you was where the 10% was quoted in the poll results, (not Thaivisa's headline). It wasn't.

johnarth Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 must remember there are over 70 million people living in Thai, and to think 90% of less than 2.000 does not represent all of Thailand as usual more misleading <deleted> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Snow Leopard Posted July 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2020 On 7/20/2020 at 6:43 AM, Greg O said: Just spent a nice weekend in bkk with the family at a 5 star hotel on Sukhumvit. Great price , good food etc but no one there. Not enough customers to ever sustain the cost of operations so the overall feeling was scary to see just how bad it is for business and the employees since everywhere we went is short staffed and their services cut back to a minimum. Also visited a couple of other hotels for happy hour at the roof top bars. Same scenario, very few customers and short staffed but glad to be working. Not sustainable...Going to see more places re closing if this continues. 100% correct. There is only so much domestic tourism and i am sure that after the lockdown effect wears off that this will start to dwindle as well. I have read that 21% of the Thai GDP is earned from tourism. I think you need to look at this question in a different way. How many Thais earn their living or are employed either directly or indirectly in the tourist sector as a % of the overall working population? I would estimate that the actual tourism loss in GDP to be a lot more than 21%. Also there is a big portion of the black economy based on tourism as well which also decreases the amount of currency in circulation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that you don't know that there has to be two sides to an equation, for example, a = x/y. "x/y" on it's own (just like the "equation" you copied, pasted and posted) means nothing. ???? Well; I obviously the “copy and paste” which I made , is wroten for someone who knows better than you the equation, and something that you didn’t understood yet is my criticism of OP's wrong and manipulated expression; "More than 90% of Thais want a total ban on foreign arrivals." You didn't copy and paste an equation, you copied and pasted one side of an equation (there are always two sides to any equation). What you posted was not only something that you clearly didn't understand, it was also meaningless without the other half and certainly could never be applied to a Thaivisa headline!

SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 the last two cases have proved yet again that only foreigners spread the virus, hence thailand must keep the borders closed to stay virus free. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
