thailand49 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Thailand truly has it all! As from the news yesterday it also has made it official " duel pricing " come if you do make it short really short if you aren't a big spender then they don't really mean all " you are cheap and dirty " if you don't spend enough they now have a way to make sure they squeeze every baht out of you before you leave see it is because you can afford it thereafter if you don't we will take it. ???????? A large majority coming for holidays 2 weeks a month don't see it but reality even the Chinese once you see one elephant <deleted>, one temple you don't need to fly half a day to see it again. I've had Chinese tell me why buy their stuff we already have it cheaper at home? The best thing Thailand has to offer is the Durian and it stops there?????

TKDfella Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Really, these people are in such a 'Mr. Bean' panic mode that are running around like headless chickens. Perhaps if they did more research into what is happening abroad, what tourist actually want/need then they would see the reality. Members of my family were planning trips to Thailand before the pandemic but now that's has changed completely.They are concentrating on strategies that will improve their chances of keeping their jobs or improve there skills to become eligible in tech jobs. I wonder how many others are doing the same? There is so much going on right that is changing the world and probably a 'short' holiday in Thailand is far from people's mind...let alone a long holiday. Investing is a different game and perhaps that's a direction that Thailand should aim for now...but does Thailand have the skills required to turn away from tourism and become a 'Hong Kong' or 'Shanghai' business state? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One look at Thailand’s lowly position in the PISA educational tables answers the question about being in any way equipped to consider focusing on tech or higher skilled jobs - and a million miles away from the likes of HK,Singapore etc. Even if starting today it would take a generation to address. No, the relatively low comparative skill set required in the tourism industry is what Thailand is suited for ,but when facing headwinds in that sector as they are now they have shown absolutely no vision,strategy or holistic thinking of how to address that. Even a dreadfully clumsy,overlong 'slogan ' (11 words isn’t a slogan) illustrates a cluelessness at the very basic level. They’ve been found out.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To even complain about the necessity seems like the act of a Thai male child. Been 3 months in Europe, two more or so here before returning. That will have been 5 months of freedom ( mask wise, food wise, clubbing wise) and I dread the moment when I return to Thailand. I do feel that paranoia is wearing off in this part of the world but Thai are definitely not off that “drug” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
