Popular Post rooster59 Posted December 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2020 Open the country to the "One Million Baht Club" - despite woes tourists set to come Image: Channel 7 News Channel 7 News reported on the comments of a real estate and hotel executive who was upbeat about Thailand's tourism future despite the recent cases of Covid-19 and the anti-government protests that are dragging on. Witthawas Wiphakun claimed that confidence was high that the government was in control of both situations. He thought that if the country was opened up to foreigners then both tourists and investors were ready to come. He urged businesses to set up associations to offer tourism packages especially to well-heeled foreigners. A "One Million Baht Club" to spur tourism, banking and the medical sector was mentioned though precise details were sketchy in their report. PM's office minister Anucha Nakhasai also spoke about the Creative Industry Village (CIV) pilot scheme in Chainat province that is being rolled out nationwide to help villagers and small and medium sized businesses in 230 locations.

Sketchy? Really, how about just plain downright laughable. Wait I have it now: TAT's new Slogan "Come to Thailand with 1 million Baht, and we will double it for you in order to stay and enjoy our beautiful ASQ locations, our Covid minders, and your beautiful free tracking watch" 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 2530Ubon Posted December 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) So they want tourists to drop 33,000 USD in Thailand on a 60/90 day stay... <deleted>? That's 16.5k/11.1k every day! How could someone possibly spend that here unless they were spending the vast majority of it on a ridiculously overpriced villa/hotel. Again, another measure that doesn't benefit the majority of Thai people. "Well heeled" tourists will not be spending at the local market, buying trinkets and tat on Khao San Rd, soapy/oily/funky massages, bottles of chang/leo in a local bar or paying bar fines for girls (real, questionable or passable). Most people may despise the backpack and 2 week millionaire crew, but they do spend a lot of money (collectively) in the right places. Well heeled tourists are only going to spend money with businesses who already cater to exclusive clubs in Thailand and are probably getting along just fine already with the local well heeled tourists. Thailand is a mass tourism destination for a reason - everything is cheap here already. Well, unless you want to buy a car or decent laptop/computer, then your going to pay far more than it's worth.

KhunKenAP Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Guess it is true. Rich people can't get COVID. Guess they missed the announcement that Trump and many of his buddies got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSam Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I'm a "glass half full" type of guy. The more news like this, showing utter desperation at bringing in foreigners (and their money), the more likely it is that the people at the top will wake up, and actually get the process started (one day)! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
