"Somewhat of a slow start". You're kidding.

The thing is though that when the TAT get their spin on it they will be saying these 8 tourists make up an incredible 800% rise in tourists than pre-opening.

There corrected : After months of planning it has been somewhat of a slow predictable and disastrous start to Hua Hin’s reopening.

“Following in the footsteps of the Phuket “sandbox” scheme, Thailand’s resort town of Hua Hin is seeking to reopen to foreign arrivals on October 1st, with the expectation that as many as 100,000 foreign tourists will visit and inject 1.2 billion baht into the blah blah blah”…

That's too much pressure on the eight! Ever gone to a large live theater venue and there are eight people in the audience? Call off the show?

Think positive, if you get double that (16) before the end of Nov at least it is moving in the right direction

8 x 5 billion baht each  = 40 billion baht .

TAT wet their pants with this news.  Lol

The 8 were last seen running down the beach being chased by tuk tuk drivers--beach touts--and issan grannies with wooden frogs and rude bracelets....

What no Soi dogs, [or did you mention them]?

0.2 are still trying to figure out how to get a ride from the train station

In all fairness...outside of the massge places and the 'tourist' bars and guesthouses...large hotels/resorts have been booked solid every Thursday thru Sunday in Hua Hin by Thai tourists from Bangkok area

Quelle surprise! Still 8 visitors is a better result than 7 visitors, so I suppose it wasn't as bad as it might have been.

I wonder how the marvellously talented and successful people including TAT who organise these opening cost the taxpayer. May as well hire a few monkeys for peanuts.

Bintabaht is all shuttered up, the only thing moving there is the tumbleweed blowing down the street.

Based on the tourists that have entered Thailand since Nov 1 would like to see TAT new projected income figures. They could probably count on one hand, but they will need a calculator for inflation purposes

Sad but true

Funny that.. Exactly what we dirty stupid farang predicted! But this arrogant illegal govt have not thought once to consult the farang who live here for an opinion.. It is us after all who are in daily contact with foreigners across the globe. Another high season wiped out. Pathetic.

IMO, looks like a very expensive flop!!!!!

Wow! That's less than one a day.

Like I said already before. The over 20000 " tourists" arriving in Thailand are 99% none tourists. Over 50% Thai who return and most of the rest people who have family here, condo here. Long stay retired. Close to ZERO TOURISTS. And that won't change in the next few months. With all restrictions still in place. Mass paperwork to do before coming. 

That no tourists are interested in

I suppose, till we have to Test in Thailand, not many people will arrive. Why should they if the can visit many other places without this?
