Ate these the same ones who top up their flasks at the drinking fountains and elbow their way to the buffet table?

It's a bit late in the year for April Fools jokes, isn't it?

    I thought China had strict limit restrictions on money taken out of the country, So are these chinese guests the criminals that Thailand does not want ??? 

Not shy about saying how much can you spend in LOS...it’s all about money nothing about enjoyment/education

 

just write us a check next time and avoid all the barriers and pitfalls...

They have to spend more per person, as the Eat all U can Seafood Buffets are closed because of their Virus.

400k spent of which 350K will be spent on disguises to remain incognito

At least now we know how much some people are paying their mia noys ????????

Do your homework, I'm not your assistant.

 

In a thread on this forum the Thai government admitted that they were part of a Chinese government agency.

 

I forgot the name of the agency, though I think it was PLA, as I'm not a China fanboy, but that should be no problem for you

So it wasn't?

Unlike non-Thai returnees who are still crawling with covid?

That's because most don't have a swab test before leaving the UK. Just a phone consultation for £30 and a FTF certificate for another £50. No actual test which is why such a high number are boarding flights infected.. Unfair on all those that have tested correctly..

 

Chinese tourist spending up to 400,000 each whats this fella  been drinking or smoking

That is Thai Nationals not Farang. Farang have to have proper test at around £225..

Last time I looked 1 month is not 2 weeks

Last time I looked at the OP, they spent the first 2 weeks in quarantine hotel. Doubt they went on a shopping spree during that time

Ohh ok, time stands still when in quarantine.... 2 weeks holiday it is then !!

This sum of 400,000 baht is $13,300 USD. For one month? Sorry, but unless they will be buying motorcycles and TV's, I can't think of a way to spend that much in a month here in Thailand. It's puzzling to me!

Thailand is oddly bizarre like this.  We are constantly reminded that every tourist has a dollar value based on where they come from and in what volume.  There is never a thought to providing a high level of service and environment and just letting them enjoy and spend.  

would be surprised at all spending 300 to 400k per person as the cost of quarantine is more likely half of the amount spend 

It should be made compulsory that they spend 400 k a day as it is their country that made the drop in Thai tourism by infecting it with C !9

Firstly, why is a tourism chief wearing a uniform, secondly does anyone believe a word TAT say?

They need to stop thinking that Chinese tourists are the best thing since sliced bread and take their blinkers off.

 

I know more than 39 westerners who used to spend way more than 400k when they used to visit as tourists. Me being one of them. 

What in one month ????????????

This statement is hopeful hyperbole. When are these guys going to stop expecting a silver bullet to save their economy?

 

But of course let's not recognize the amount of expats that live here on a full-time basis bringing in good money and spending it here every month.

33 times 400k equals 13,200,000 baht

are things this bad here? A few houses and a couple of new SUV’s? 

Apparently they have to take home a Chevy truck duty free to make up the 400,000

who spends 333 G B P per day....?

this guy is in cuckooland......stupid idiot he is

Easy done. A few beers, half decent hotel. Reasonable food and some of the company you came for.  Average zero-dollar Chinese tourist however......

 

Hobson’s choice: Dosh and Covid or bums on seats.

They didn't say Thai baht. Maybe Lao Kip?

Why does he not know more than 39 westerners who spend "way more?"

 

I know way more than 41 westerners who spent less than 100 K in one month, including  24/7 companionship and a Mama per day. 

 

I only make a few baht more in one year, so who's making up such cra_ p? 400,000 baht is quite good money to spend.
