So, if a room is ฿1000 per night (฿7000 for a weeks stay).   That’s 185 rooms booked for a week.  If it’s a higher end hotel at ฿3000 per night, that’s 60 rooms booked for a week. 
 

How many rooms are on Phuket?  Just counting the Ibis in Kata (258 rooms), that doesn’t even fill one hotel up.

 

How much was spent putting on this 4 day road show?

 

Just checked...Phuket has 1800 hotels with 84,700 rooms.

I think you need to go back to school and learn Thai math ???? 258 rooms in Ibis Kata divided by the total number of rooms in Phuket is a 95% occupancy rate. This promotion has been an outstanding success for Phuket and for TAT who invented it. Who else but TAT could have thought of this?? ????

 

1.3 M Baht is 42,000 USD. How is that going to help? How sad to be a Thai person with this kind of silly propaganda being forced on them.
