Hua Hin: Business leader expects 100,000 foreign tourists in Q4 - they'll spend big 1.2 billion baht

Picture: Thai Rath

 

Rot Rojanasathian, the chief of the Thai chamber of commerce and spa association was bigging up the "Hua Hin Recharge" post pandemic recovery operation yesterday.

 

Among comments about improvements for the elderly population and those with pre-existing conditions to more easily access vaccinations he was also buoyant about the potential for foreign tourism.

 

Herd immunity - with Hua Hin favored in the vaccine rollout after being named as one of the places for maximum vaccine rollout - would be achieved and the tourists will come, was his message. 

 

He anticipated that in the fourth quarter from October 1st to the end of the year there will be 100,000 foreign tourists coming to Hua Hin, reported Thai Rath

 

And they are big spenders, he claimed. They will add 1.2 billion baht to the local economy. 

 

The plan is to fly them into Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok then bus them directly from there to Hua Hin without dropping in anywhere else. 

 

There will also be private flights by three companies into Hua Hin airport after transport minister Saksayam Chidchob agreed to certain deregulations.

Yeah sure, 100,000 idiots who want to spend time in an open air prison where everything's closed and walking around without a face muzzle is considered a revolutionary act. 

 

Why bother with this nonsense. In Australia, face masks generally aren't required anywhere, except airports and then only for those aged 12 and above. Ditto for New Zealand. In America, face mask rules are being relaxed...soon even in democratic states.


Both Australia and the United States have tropical beaches...and casinos.

 

Thailand doesn't have any casinos.

 

Why exactly would one come to Thailand?

Unlikely that Australians or Chinese, two large markets, will be allowed to leave their countries by then. Aussies can currently visit New Zealand but that's it. Chinese can go to Macau (and Hong Kong in some limited circumstances) but nowhere else. 

Why these daily nonsensical articles. Does anyone actually bother reading them?

Must be a much cheaper place than Phuket where tourists are spending 85,000 baht each!

Yeah, yesterday TAT said each tourist will spend 83,000 Baht in Thailand. Wish they'd get their stories straight.

No country in the world of covid is making any projections on tourism except thailand afaik

As there is a far greater need for policies to tackle a pandemic in the real world why do these clowns comments even get reported

Herd immunity by the 4th qtr...on which planet.

Westerners have to get out of their own countries first.

 

Maybe visitors from China and India instead.

they are doing a better job running out any tourist there atm was on a busy flight 2 weeks ago know some would have stayed if they allow private hosp offer vacs

"1.2" seems to be magic financial number, especially when follow by "million" or "billion", wasn't that also the number in relation to the STV...????

Wow, so they're going to spend 12,000 each? Big spenders hey.

 

You can't get one night in a nice room in some of the fancier hotels for that.

 

 

The forced hospitalisation policy is what will prevent people from coming to Thailand.

Just another deluded man

Or simply put, a Thai male in a position beyond his competence

Can someone explain to me how people like this get into leadership positions in Thailand? I suppose the UK has it's Boris, the US had Trump, Italy had Belusconi, France has Macron, Brazil has Bolsonaro, Tesla has Musk etc etc 

 

I sometimes think I live in a world populated by idiots when I see what the mob votes for.

My last trip to Hua Hin I was paying 400bht a night for a double room, Euro City by the station, it was good enough.

Jeez... all they can think about... Big spenders again.

As my dad frequently told me, "want in one hand and p..p in the other and see what one fills up first".  Tourists in Hua Hin or any other area, I hope to live long enough to see it again.

Always wondered what he rooms look like.walk or drive past it many times,seen they advertise rooms for 99bht,must be dorm rooms for that price,looks like a right <deleted>hole from outside tho,far better places closer to the beach for 500-600 bht a night.

Some red light high rollers will proudly show this as their tab from a night at the bar.

I thought this was May already. Why now they sending these April's fool's jokes to the news. Haha
