It's official....

300 + 500 = 850

With a deviation of 3 or 4 million tourists. With this mathematical knowledge, nobody would be able to pass the entrance exam for a degree in tourism at a university.

Without Pipat there is nothing to laugh about on this forum.

Really ?

I thought there are 4-5 people in an office who put together some numbers every week.

What the hell these thousands of employees doing?

Good question.

 

Many are overseas.

Another deluded Minister....

After a while you have to start questioning the point of paying these people a salary.

Another TAT brain fart

Rename the agency tot, which is a fart. Or better yet use a code name 8777 which in Thai sounds like a wet fart or you've been eating too much watermelon, seeds and all. 8777 is a magic number in our household.

If ever there was a budget that should be gutted to help provide for Covid needs, it is the tourism budget. By doing so, not only would it help the Covid fight, but also help tourism, because the sooner Covid is over, the sooner tourism starts again.

 

trying to promote tourism in these times is money wasted. Any fool can see that.

If there are no tourists, why do you need a tourist agency?  Just send them home and call them next year, or the year after.  Or dress up the TAT employees to look like tourists and send them out to make it look like fun in the sun.

30,000, 3 million. what's the difference?  Just a couple zeroes. And they have a lot of zeros working there.

Final Fantasy infinity ..... always another version more outlandish than the last. If they were realistic, take tourism receipts for the first 6 months of this year and double it. I'm sure it will be closer to 850 million  - Thais often get millions and billions mixed up!

You need to ask? Never taken a walk around a Thai office, or Big-C or Homepro.... hiding in the aisles, under the shelves, playing on their phones.
