Burma Bill Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 6 hours ago, webfact said: seven out of ten Thais are ready to travel abroad. I bet they are - to the Chinese casinos across the border in Cambodia, Laos and Burma!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post itsari Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 70 percent of wealthy Thais should be the headline. That equates to 70 percent of 2 percent of the population wanting to travel out of Thailand in my opinion . 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 6 hours ago, webfact said: The media interpreted this as Thais saying that if foreigners can come here, we want to go there. Because most places worth a bean are properly vaxxed, and with decent vaccines. Anyway, Let’s just hope the rest of the world doesn’t make it as difficult as it is to get into your country.

natway09 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 75% of Thais have been denied international travel all their lives & 15% on top of that only to work What a load of rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim207 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I knew that alot of people just read headlines, but damn, 90% of the posts so far are from people who obviously didn't read the article. That is how the news is manipulating the masses while still being able to say their articles are factual. It is no wonder elites have lttle respect for the masses when they can manipulate so many so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spermwhale Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) That headline is BS No way no how can 70% of the Thai population afford to go abroad. I don't even think that many have ever left the country. Go to Isaan or most anyplace in Thailand and see how many actually can afford to take a foreign trip. I know further in the article it says the survey was of their readers, but in that case, that's what the headline should say.

Credibility is in the eye of the reader, and thus why we can discuss nonsensical and imaginary things to our hearts content, with either indignation, utter indigestion or would that be flatulence . When feces floats do we wallow in it or discuss it. Nothing seems to be what it ever truly is amongst the pages herein. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangkokReady Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) I wonder how Thai people would feel if they faced the same hurdles and risks traveling abroad as foreign people do to come to Thailand currently.

They already do face hurdles to get visas to enter other countries, e.g. USA and Australia, difficult/very difficult to pass the requirements, quite time consuming and expensive whether covid or otherwise.
