My thoughts exactly. How can we rely on any of these polls? Polls usually result in the result that those paying for the polls want, but I have never seen anything be a complete reversal like this. The sample may have been taken with bar girls and hotel workers.

Latest covid figures for INDIA:-

 

Total

India

 

 

Cases 3.31M     +67,151

Recovered 2.52M

Deaths 60,472 +1,059

India have the highs rate for the virus in the world and the highest death rate and thailand want them back 

I was doing some work in India and Pakistan last year. I was amazed by the number of folk I was working with, who routinely travel to Thailand for medical checks and treatments. Now I know visiting for medical treatment allows you into the country now, but, with boarders closures and restrictions removed this would open the floodgates to these types of visitors once again. Perhaps this is one influence on the results.

considering how low scale the tourist sector is now... it works out well that they can still rustle up enough 'staff', to let at least 4 indians share the one girlie

That was a total BS, army sponsored propaganda stunt. We have to be able to see through those army led lies and bald faced attempts at racism and hatred. 

 

Of course the people want tourism. Few know people who are not suffering from a lack of income. We are talking about a fifth of the nation's economy. Meanwhile, the army does NOTHING to ease the burden on the people. 

 

Prayuth, Pipat, and Co. Do something!

Man up. Fight the timidity. You are men, right? Face your fear.

 

Doing nothing makes you cruel, heartless, incompetent and downright sadistic.

If you ask me, they don't frigging know what they want! They change their opinions (and plans), more often than I change my boxer shorts! 

I'd love to know what proportion of those surveyed would prefer tourists to simply transfer their holiday money and stay at home to actually coming here and spending it themselves/on themselves. 

That airways now wants to have 2 charter flights a month starting late November from Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong.

 

That could bring around 3600 tourists a month. A huge increase....

The very last word in your sentence describes their characters already perfectly in one single word.

Coronavirus news – live: UK and US in talks over ‘air bridge’, as India reports record daily jump in cases

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/coronavirus-news-live-uk-us-054447559.html

Meanwhile, India has reported another single-day record of new coronavirus cases, reporting 75,760 new confirmed infections in the past 24 hours. The Health Ministry on Thursday also recorded 1,023 deaths in the past 24 hours, taking total fatalities up to 60,472.

It should be open to anyone who is willing to abide by all the restrictions 

I can’t believe many people are that desperate to go to Thailand

Just read this morning that 10% of returnees from India are testing positive for Covid-19 in quarantine. I believe the figures for returnees from other countries are far lower. Cant see Indians being welcomed for a while.

Totally agree, India is being ravaged by covid-19, and news state it will overtake the USA with the death toll
