According to a TCT statement, only 50 per cent of tourism businesses remain open, while 36 per cent have closed temporarily, and four per cent have shuttered permanently.

What happened to the other 10%?

And who's to blame for all these job losses,,   you guess right,  the 3rd wave virus hit Thailand, but the Government has been so slow to combat the spread and obtain the vaccine,  so the buck stops with them....

the extra 10 % are the prostitution and gambling which never existed anyway.....

Who are you blaming?

 

It's the same the world over. My brother in Aberdeen has many businesses, including two pubs, which have been shut for about a year. 

 

 

 

it seems quite obvious who im blaming.people here have received nothing.the uk has give furloughs and a whole raft of help to individuals and businesses.this has happened across n america and europe,japan korea and so on.this is my point and unfortunately youve missed it.the whole vacc rollout is mired in dishonestly racism and incompetence here.in europe/uk we can test  and jab easily and dont tell me coz its they are rich,the junta here wished to buy subs from big brother and are buying their train sets so they can link themselves further with the authoritarian regime in beijing to rivet themselves in  long term power,that costs money  and we have a guy in bavaria sitting on 40 billion,enough said

I disagree, especially the racist part. There is absolutely no discrimination against any race in the vaccine handout.
