Interesting calculation.  40M in 2019 spent 1.9 Trillion = B 47,500 per person
20M predicted in 2022 will spend 1.3 Trillion = B 65,000 per person.

Prices are down from 2019 and will take a while to recover.  So, are they expecting tourists to take extra long vacations?

Spending more on all the fines, eg no mask 3 times, 20k baht. That has now been upgraded to legitimate tourist spending and income.

What's the question? You want to be a tourist also? Not sure how this relates

OK, let me explain the obvious to you. Here is the title of the story: "Thailand targets 3 million foreign tourists this year under phased reopening"

 

 My question is why are they just only targeting the foreign tourists and not the foreign resident's also? Comprende Half Full???
