Fact is that you enter without any avalanche of bureaucracy and enjoy skying or beach leisure - depending on the time of the year! Fully agree, nothing wrong but it's not a destination to escape from winter like Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted October 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) At this stage of the game, a few things are certain. Anything coming from the mouths of anyone in the TAT, or Prayuth, Anutin, and Phiphat is likely false, misleading or based on misplaced, misguided or totally fake optimism. Or simply a high degree of ignorance. There comes a point in time where after hundreds upon hundreds of lies and broken promises, all credibility is lost. We have reached that point.

Purdey Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Maybe this is the time to make some strategic decisions. Make Thailand less reliant on foreign tourists and make tourism less important to the economy by developing modern industry. The government's reliance on tourist is not a long-term plan as tourism destroys the natural beauty that attracted people here. With a pretty poor record in education there really is not much chance of developing business unless education is improved, starting with the teachers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubbaJohnny Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 What I love about TAT is their ability to multi task They are sometimes lying, misinformed , ignorant of real world sentiment outside LOS . Other times they are just incompetent wishful thinkers. Often they can manage both sumulbrainlessly with wild forecasts of Millions of hi so big spenders gagging to visit, manana...........................................or was it Ma Nana 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To improve education, you have to want change, admit fault and also have a desire to learn from previous mistakes. It could even require asking none-Thais for help, which for many would be considered “losing face” As this does in no way fit into the mindset of most Thais over 30 and for sure not those in power, there is no chance of things changing anytime soon. So Thailand basically has the options of tourism, low cost production or farming. And that’s it, unfortunately. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
