No new look with people still queuing for food handouts so the question needs to be asked WHERE is all the reported money going and into WHOS pockets , certainly not the people 

They have to keep filling all those brown uniforms and pumping out more gold braid and medals - someone has to pay for all those gold plated salaries and pensions and of course have to keep "their own happy" .  Send the ordinary Thai back to work in the fields so we can boost our exports to pay for our lifestyle !

a million foreign tourists will visit Phuket in the third quarter of this year (that has already started) and in the first three months of next year (the first quarter of 2022).

Actually, the third quarter of this year is already finished.

So are they allowing foreigners to come on holiday and WORK here now?  I thought that was illegal unless you have a work permit?

TiT. There is a thin line between legal and illegal.. If they don’t see (no enforcerment), there is nothing illegal happening. For the more straight arrow people, legality might attract them more.

He favors "workations" to help achieve this - getting foreigners in who are both holidaying and working at the same time. 

So basically the idea is to do nothing, and somehow magically a million digital nomads - who can work anywhere - will come to Thailand where they can't even have a drink (or work) legally. Yes, I'm sure that's going to happen.

 

If they drop restrictions, open nightlife, and introduce easy-to-get remote work visas - maybe they'll get some numbers (but not a million). But that would require logic and action, so yeah nah won't happen.

Nobody will come unless bars and entertainment centers are open. The majority of the tourists are in two market segments. - searching for brides and looking for orogies. And neither can be accomplished when bars and entertainment venues are closed. 

The only orgies I ever had were in Singapore!

Bored couples mostly. 

This place has overrated itself for far too long, and the chickens are now coming home to roost in locust proportions. 

Which is more than can be said for the phantom tourists.

Som nam bloody-well na!

Welcome to Prayut's playground farang!  Get that bill-fold open!

No nightlife, no entertainment, no alcohol, Covid-infested beaches closed, no fun.
But we'll offer you farm tours - How fun right???

Welp I guess we gotta let the dirty falangs back in.....lets just make sure we shake every last baht out of them thru scams and regulations

But nobody is forcing dirty farangs  to come to Thailand unless the said dirty farangs is forced by their strong desire to find a bride or orgies in Thailand. They can stay at home or go somewhere else.

The "dirty farangs" reference  posts are getting rather repetitive
