I saw it as position 139 in such a list and below pretty much all European countries.....

Yep, Thailand still 139, which is significantly better than most Western countries including Germany at 53, Austria 50, Greece 43, France 29, Spain 27, UK 22 and USA 21 in most deaths per million population

(according to Worldometer)

I wonder what headhunter is being used to appoint all these clowns...
In 25 years here in Thailand, I have NEVER read or heard ANY serious information from TAT.

There are none so blind as those who don't want to see. 

Unwavering optimism. 

In other news, TAT this year apparently also aims at issuing 1,000 ridiculous announcements concerning foreign tourist arrivals.

I think he is confusing Tourist with refugees, as there is and will be many running from Afghanistan. It would be nice if Thailand would help some of these desperate  people out. Instead of warring about the Tourist all the time. 

The unelected PM and his soldiers helping desperate people out?? They are to busy helping themselves.

Despite the dire state of the pandemic in Thailand with record daily highs, the Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Yutthasak Suphasorn told Sanook that his target for foreign tourists before the end of the year is still one million.

Magical Thinking Is a Normal Developmental Stage

Since children at this stage of development are egocentric, they already believe that their actions directly influence events around them. Magical thinking may intensify this perception.

Incompetent employees are often fired. How do these morons at TAT hold on to their jobs?

They are employed and supervised by even more incompetent ones.....

Nothing compared to the ones handling the vaccination.....

I guess it will be along the lines of ...

 

"Thailand's tourist numbers up - Thailand celebrating tourism revival in 2nd half of 2021. Numbers only slightly below (998,999.3) TAT's correct and insightful projections of 1 million tourists for 2021.

 

Most international tourists (456,789) were from Myanmar, followed by Cambodia (345,678), Laos (123,456), America (543), Thailand (444), Israel (234), India (111), Germany (88), France (77) ..."

Everyone is bashing the TAT here. In the last few years I have had quite good success with their numbers in the Thai Lottery.

Take a closer look is my tip.

 

From the above TAT message I take the following figures:

7 + 7 = 77, 14, 25, 74, 42, 44 and for the three-way bet 744, 442

 

Let's see what will be drawn on September 1st, but I'm confident.

Another case of TiT for TAT.

That was an Ad agency, not some clueless superannuated billionaire who inherited most of the dosh, then was given a portfolio based on backroom deals.

Headhuters are used to hire real talent for real businesses, these are political appointments, that's why Anutin is head of a Thai Health Ministry, with a background in construction!

they pontificate from their ivory tower ,,no reality is apparent
