A sensible statement. What I do not understand, however, is that those in charge in Thailand have not understood what marketers in other countries have known for decades, namely that the best sales channel is not advertising, it is satisfied customers. In the case of Thailand, this would mean that they provide relief for foreigners who already live / are in Thailand instead of treating us as criminals, unwelcome or sixth class citizens.

that will make a change from us. Instead of writing to our friends in other countries, that Thailand is a <deleted>ty country, we would write that Thailand is nice and it treat foreigners well. That will get tourists here as soon as possible without paying millions of Baht on advertising that does not work. "Make Thailand to the LOS again".

 

The TCOKU (Thailand is the center of the known universe) consciousness and fake nationalistic ferver prevents them from possessing anything that resembles objectivity, common sense, reasoning or vision. 

 

The damage they have done is beyond comprehension. And not just since Covid, during which the PPA (The Prayuth, Phiphat and Anutin sabateur crew) have engaged in a historic wrecking campaign and major industrial sabotage. But, for years prior to Covid too. 

 

Thailand is in for a world of hurt, over the next five to ten years. This will be felt for many years to come. And this army administration will go down in history as the goons who turned the one time tiger of SE Asia, into a whiny, feeble, rabid, anemic alley cat.

so what have they been doing throwing out different numbers/estimates/predictions on a daily basis ..... and all of a sudden they can't predict anymore ????????????????????555

 

but but and but 

 

Tourism chiefs also stated they expect a total of 12,000 tourists to visit Phuket in July with weekly flights now available from Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London and Zurich until September.

It is very possible to make a prediction.  The number line is "dense" with choices as they say in number theory.  But the accuracy of the prediction is highly suspect

Hmm, an honest statement. 
 

Leading a tourism body may not be this man’s ideal employment environment. 

Surely the Fortune teller you paid should at least give you a number lol

The only thing amazing about Thailand is their ability to be completely wrong and pretend to keep face.

That would require an open mind, intelligence, vision, and decency. None of those qualities are present in even a single minister in this cabinet. 

Seems as though every Ministry, Bureau and department has an Inspector Clueless running the show. 

 

Thanks to Chamnan Srisawat for telling it like it is.
