khunpa Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Combine this with all the other targeted rich people (Indians and Russians) that will be coming by the millions, there will soon be no space left here. Real estate prices will explode. And most will for sure also be investing 32 million THB for a work-permit and visa, as they will love it so much. It’s going to be amazing! Everybody is going to be super rich! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex80 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 So they are actually expecting that the 0.6% of Saudi Arabia will travel to Thailand this year? 6 times higher than pre-covid levels? Well, this is fun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaan sailor Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Makes perfect sense to me. Go for the moneyed crowd—the ones who don’t care about a rising Baht. Mass market tourism just a pipe dream for TAT now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def not the Beach , beer and Temples. Saudi had some of the best hospitals in the world, when I was there. Money no object.

I've worked in Bahrain and the Saudis would come into Bahrain on the weekends for drinking and the abundance of ladies Wink, wink. These guys would maintain apartments in Bahrain so when Ramadan came around they would go to their well stocked villas for fun. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, they've been coming to TH for years, via KL or other s/overs. My staff knew all about Ptya and the now defunct Walking Street. Brace for more rag heads in town, plus the hiso Indians (5 guys sharing a beer with 5 straws). either way, better than the yellow gobbers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you claiming that prayer time would be instituted in THAILAND? That's obviously not true if so, but if you mean for Thais in Saudi the Thais won't have to go pray. It's just a case of hanging around for a while during prayer time. However, they may have to work behind closed doors. We didn't stop working in the hospital just because of prayer time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew back from Bahrain to Riyadh sitting next to an extremely drunk Saudi. I also went on a tour to Hofuf that had an inebriated Saudi tour guide, but it was extremely unusual to see a drunk Saudi in country. I see from the headline that once again it's all about how much they will generate from an estimated number of tourists, and nothing to do with providing a destination that will attract visitors. IMO Thailand attracted western visitors based on the recollections of those that visited in the 1980s and 90s. From the start of this century, IMO the country has deteriorated significantly as a worthwhile destination. Had I first visited this century, I doubt I'd have repeated the experience. I only went to Sri Lanka once in the 90s and never again- just wasn't worth it IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
