Popular Post Sydebolle Posted July 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2021 Honestly, is this stuff being published here to entertain the readers or to please those pr1cks further up the ladder in the local leadersh1t organization chart? What a load of ........ Seriously funny, if you ask me but totally misleading most Thais living off the hospitality. Most of them luckily don't read English outside their job description so it serves to tickle some funny nerves with the aliens only! ¨ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who have now returned to their home countries say they plan to visit the kingdom with their families again.

Misterwhisper Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It ought to be really tough on one's conscience working as a news editor for NNT. No matter how dire the actual facts are, they always must put an overly positive, hilariously enthusiastic spin on every article. 16 hours ago, snoop1130 said: tourists are most satisfied with the shuttle service with the Safety and Health Administration (SHA) Plus certification at Phuket International Airport, followed by overall services offered at Phuket International Airport.

Stargeezr Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 When the sand boxes and the rest of Thailand get put on a no fly list, then TAT will have to figure out what else to do. Maybe they may even have to face reality. I do hope a lot of people get vaccinated before November. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whale Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Much as I question. the "sandbox" I do hope it remains open. Purely because it gives me a better potential route in and out rather than Bangkok ASQ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I can only imagine how the morning news briefing at NNT went: Editor in chief: "Well, things look really bad. The Phuket sandbox is failing and even the TAT chief admitted only yesterday that the country's reopening might have to be adjusted or even postponed under the current circumstances. How are we going to fix that?" News editor: "Instead of the actual few hundred foreign arrivals in Phuket who encountered nothing but closed shops and restaurants, with some of them even contracting the virus, why don't we claim that more than 10,000 have visited the island since July 1 and that many if not all of them have expressed their intention to return soon?" Editor in chief: "Excellent idea, go ahead. But what do we do about the closed shops, restaurants and entertainment places?" News editor: "Well, let's not dwell on that at all but stress how much the tourists enjoyed the excellent shuttle service to their hotels and the excellent facilities at Phuket airport. That way we can elegantly avoid even mentioning that almost all tourist businesses are shuttered up." Editor in chief: "Perfect. But don't forget to also emphasize the 'warm hospitality and welcoming attitude of the locals'. Oh, and attribute all quotes to some imaginary director at an obscure financial research organization with a snappy name and let 'him' project a gargantuan prospective revenue amount running in the hundreds of billions. Always makes things look more credible..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont confuse me Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Maybe I've missed something. The cost of holiday, swabbing etc is 70,000 THB. Those monies must go to the airlines, hotels etc. Then it states, "The average spending is 5,500 baht per person, generating 534.31 million baht in revenue" This is based on an average of 11 nights stay! 5,500 THB ÷ 11 is 500 a day, not much of a holiday!

I understand the need to believe what you have done is truly working and will save Thailand, but living in an alternative universe and hallucinating daily has to be detrimental to how these tourism authority people view things. Agreed. Where do they get those figures anyway? Pie in the sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBath Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 7 hours ago, ThailandRyan said: Not sure tourism is the answer. I think Thailand is truly over reliant on tourism prospects and this article tells it like it is. Very interesting insights from the article. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/26/asian-currencies-thailand-covid-lack-of-tourism-hit-thai-baht.html So what now since Thailand has had only 34k visitors according to the article up until May of 2021. The 10k Sandbox visitors surely can not be helping either. So where will the expected billions come from. Pipe dream. That’s 34k and trending downward. Even if the curve stays flat and we end the year at 70k we’re talking 1/557th of 2019’s number of international tourists. Yet, here they are spouting revenue numbers for international tourism that equals roughly 1/6th of 2019. Sorry folks, that’s not gonna fly.

You are making a big assumption there. I am not a drug user, unless you include beer. My statement was that most of the nutters I encounter are drunk, not stoned on 'weed'. Try to keep up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
