So, 6.5million tourists will spend significantly more than past tourists...

 

And Pipat's logic can explained as thus...

 

 

Intelligence and logic are not his strong points.

 

Fail.

He is a Billionaire, so he can say whatever he wants.

And does.

TAT needs a serious talk with Bank of Thailand.  You see, some mysterious foreign deposits seem to keep pouring in, strengthening the mighty Baht.  Over the weekend western currencies lost an average 1-1/2% on the Baht.  Keep that up, expats will leave, tourists will go elsewhere, and Thai industry will disappear.

Thailand's minister of tourism and sports Pipat Ratchakitprakan has once again been giving the Thai media his assessments of tourism numbers this year and beyond. 

Does this guy ever give up?

He doesn't have a clue what's happening this year.

1.2 trillion baht is more than half what 40 million tourists spent in 2019, notes Thaivisa. 

 

The minister explained this away by saying that post pandemic tourists to Thailand would be spending more per person.

This guy should really retire..... is he representing the tourism industry or just embarrassing it while operators suffer.
