ThaiFelix Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Apart from everything else you have to take into consideration that Thais believe that every farang has a money tree in their backyards, that there are no poor farang. All those tens of thousands or more of farang who have been out of work since this pandemic started have just had more time to harvest 1,000 baht notes from their money trees and now can have a nice holiday in Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was great about Thailand is it was cheap so your money goes 3 times as far... all changed in 2019 when a Big Mac meal now costs more than in Australia or US ???? That out pricing of the West happened years before 2019. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regyai Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Why dont TAT diversify and tout on-line lottery numbers predictions or publish one of those guide books that translate subjects from dreams (trees, crocodiles, snakes etc) into lucky lottery numbers tourist arrival numbers Edited November 19, 2021 by Regyai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronster Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Well they better hurry up and figure out how to get these people to come here ! My mate flew to Bkk from Heathrow yesterday with a hour stop in Phuket . There was a total of 30 people in economy and half got off in Phuket. Maybe business class and first class were packed with all the rich tourists the country want , but I highly doubt it ! ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsj Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Does TAT think he knows more than the airlines do. For example I checked Cathay Pacific flights from BKK to HKG (I am looking for flights to visit Vancouver) and I now see that until May they have only 1 flight per day 3 times a week (12 flights per month), where before they had at least 4 or 5 flights per day 7 days a week (140 flights per month) Edited November 19, 2021 by dsj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawadee1947 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I wonder what figures they'll present for 2030 or 2050, as there is a plan issued by Prayut for the next decades????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britishrepublican Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Delusional. I suspect they won't even hit 1.8 million genuine tourists. The few tens of thousands that have arrived since Nov 1 are not typical tourists. They are mostly those with a more long term connection to the country and have been waiting on entry requirements relaxing so they could make the journey. Genuine tourists won't waste their time. They want a relaxing holiday and there is nothing relaxing about entering Thailand currently. 18 million tourists next year? That's a good one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moe666 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Going out this afternoon, here in Chiang Mai. I saw about 10 tourist scattered about the old city. They are here but not great numbers of them. Lots of Thai tourist in town and a over abundance of Bangkok plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newnative Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Going from 2,000 tourists to 3,000 is not by any means 'mushrooming'. At best, it's creeping slowly upward. Very slowly. Still absolutely dismal, where it will remain until traveling to Thailand is made easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
