Popular Post RichardColeman Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) From link : The Tourism Authority of Thailand predicted the country would receive 300,000 visitors per month in November and December. Money will be distributed in the country. Well, based on the current 2800 a day, they'll be extremely lucky to make more than 75-85K each month after all the expats, their families and those that need to return have all passed through immigration. They are already 50,000 tourists behind projection in week 1 ! I would not claim 30% of your predictions a success !

Scary to think about the manageable number when I read that. Hopefully it is more than two digits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerno Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'm so happy the Gov't is satisfied, as there is much satisfaction to be had for morons. If unsatisfied, there may be a coup. Oops! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzian Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 If they are satisfied with the first week then they must be satisfied every time they [blank] their pants. Someone should make a study of how many gave up entirely and on average how many friends they told to forget it. The relatively small amount the hospitals lose to nonpaying farangs would be more than made up for by tourist volume if they would drop the insurance. I do know one friend who didn't pay, because he died intestate in hospital and his bank accounts were locked, still locked the last I heard. But isn't that what the new 500 baht entry fee is supposed to cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
