Forza2002 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Govt as usual blowing smoke up their ass if they think that 50K arrivals is a roaring success. As has been said in other posts majority will be returning Expats with their Thai partners.. By all accounts on Twitter, Facebook there are very few tourists... Som Nam Na TAT, must try harder..

If it is flights, that would explain the high number for the UAE. My interpretation is the UAE has a lot of people with lots of money and they paid to have the red tape and hoops taken care of for them. Money speaks volumes and their money shouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 5 hours ago, Daithi85 said: Same all over the world it ain't just a Thailand problem. We are in the middle of a pandemic you know.. The management of Astra Zenneker have just announced that they no longer consider covid to be pandemic it is now endemic (ie it will never go away and we will have to live with it like we do with flu). On the basis of that they are now upping the cost of vaccination doses to certain wealthy nations so they can start making a profit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand is a great place to come and worm up. You ASSumed my post of "winning", I was referring to something else perhaps? I was referring to "winning" for (TAT) Tourism Authority of Thailand, and even that was a bit tongue and cheek. But no big deal. Sometimes you only see (read) what you want to see (read)!!!!!!

Over the last 52 weeks, the Baht has receded—I get that. But over the last month—the Baht has gained 2% over most western currencies, despite the devastation of the tourist industry.

Sheryl Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 One factor in where people are coming from may be that the (far from easy or user-friendly) Thailand Pass system is only in Thai and English. Would be difficult for someone with limited English to complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
