overt2016 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 How about that!!!! The PM knows about the mafia, but over the last 7 years has done nothing about them, All hail the chief! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the green light Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The statement "Around 300 tourists are expected " for 300 passengers is just equivalent to 2 flights. It is nothing. There are a lot of Thai people left the country to get their vaccines overseas, and other farangs returning home. Not to forget that many well-to-do Thai people will be going this summer to the US for their moderna/Pfizer vaccines. Returning to Phuket a good option for them. "expected 30,000 down from 100,000 in 120 days."..my math tells me 250 people per day.....just one plane per day This plan is designed for the returnees back to Thailand... however, It does not look like a plan well in place to help the tourism industry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the government wanted the mafia ended, they'd end the mafia. So obviously they don't.

With the last one being administered prior to 17th June, to allow for the TWO week period to allow full protection. They clearly havent, Pinnochio and his gang do as they please...... rig elections, fabricate figures for both testing and vaccines etc etc with impunity! and start sandboxes to deflect from their own total ineptitude, insatiable greed and negligent scant regard for the population of Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorecard Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 QUOTE: "It was clear that with so much resting on the Phuket Sandbox as regards the immediate future of Thai tourism the government did not want the mafia putting a spanner in the works and upsetting foreign tourists, notes Thaivisa." Point taken. But why haven't the authorities taken action (e.g. taxis / tuk tuks) 30 years ago to totally stop their inappropriate and at times frightening behaviors and their attempts to rip off tourists? How many times have the local/national authorities conducted campaigns to clean up these drivers and owners, must be at least 200 campaigns that I'm aware of in 30+ years and not one campaign has achieved anything. Again poor and ineffective national and local authorities including the police. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaky Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Tourists arriving will already be ripped off with covid testing, 2800 baht x 4 tests, to draw the attention away from themselves they certainly don't want the taxi mafia to exasperate the situation, the pot calling the kettle black springs to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBath Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 "...he was expecting something around 300....when others see how safe it is they will decide to come....100,000 visitors in the next three months will spend 9 billion baht." 300 is laughable. Even at 300 per day it will take 333 days to get to 100,000 tourists. Thanks, I really needed a good laugh today!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spermwhale Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 They are living in a dream world if they think people are going to spend their hard earned money to be stuck on an island even if they have been fully vaccinated. The country continues to shoot itself in the foot. They are making them quarantine the same as the unvaccinated. I hope they all go to countries that have a logical approach to it.

Jorgendk Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 No turist will come. Yes maybe about 2-3000 with wifes or girlfriends in Thailand will come and use 14 days in Puket insted of hotell queantine. But no rearl turists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffinChonburi Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Certainly one the top spots in the world Phuket has, is the Worst Taxi Mafia on earth. Making each trip to Phuket a little less appealing. Even the PM of Thailand recognizes it. I so hope the install a baht bus system there. Being a convenient gateway to the some of the most beautiful islands earth, Phuket will always get traffic, and have tourism. Allowing the "Taxi Mafia" to ruin those tourist holiday is a shame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
