mikebell Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 'Thailand expects 200,000 Saudi visitors this year following a 30-year hiatus'. Similarly I'm expecting a million pound Premium Bond win any day now after an identical time lag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silencer Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) What has changed in the government, courts, and police in Thailand since the Blue Diamond affair to want the Saudis to trust Thailand again?

geisha Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I hope they know what they’re in for. The Saudis and the Thais. I’ve worked in the tourist trade for 45 years in Cannes and August is the biggest arrivals of Saudis, following their kings families habits, in their private jets and entourage of often 300 personnel , secretaries, chauffeurs, Nannie’s, cooks, doctors etc. Where the Royal family go, they go. They expect 10 star service, not 5 star, eat in the very best restaurants , clubs where the youths can spend 100 thousand euros and more on champagne , etc etc. They bring their own cars, Ferraris etc. These are the good American or British educated families who are used to a way of life no Thai can ever imagine . Then you have the other sort that I remember from my first holidays in Bangkok. The lesser class that come here for only one thing, and we all know what that is. They were not liked by the Thai girls and I’ve even seen signs myself forbidding them entry to certain establishments. So. I would say, it is that last class of tourists that will come to Thailands Bangkok and it’s infamous clubs etc. Of course, it’s quite accepted isn’t it, and I suppose the masses of jobless girls will welcome them. Sad in my opinion but I’m sure you won’t all agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Am I right to assume that Saudi Arabia can be too hot for some part of the year? Maybe they will come for the cooler Thailand weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that the Saudi's are not encouraged by their government to come to Thailand. They consider it a dangerous place for them to go to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 They will gravitate to little Arabia in Pattaya and Bangkok. Visitors from the MENA region are big business here. Saudis used to come a lot until the Blue Diamond Affair. But they are in for a shock. Dubai and Bahrain are both better for nightlife.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 TAT can dream.... Looks like they're trying to cut into Malaysia's tourism. Lots of tourists from Middle Eastern countries. That country is already predominantly Muslim, accommodating for food, holidays, mosque visits, etc. However, they have a 2-tier legal system: a regular civil law system for all, and special Sharia enforcement for The Faithful. This means a Muslim tourist who is caught with a beer in his hand, or part of his anatomy in someone else's hand, could very well get the rotan (whipping stick).

The were just starting to invade pre covid. Abhorrent creatures. Dressed like Ali G and absolute no decorum whatsoever. Absolutely disgusting, those Saudi Arabs. Good luck to the girls surviving their onslaught. Welcoming the Saudis really does show what the backbone of Thai tourism is: prostitution. Saudis are not beach goers, they are not interested in culture and temples, bush walking, etc. It's drinking, shopping, misbehaving and running wild (not possible at home) - and cheap sex (not necessarily in that order). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a huge box of second-hand plimsolls for gym lessons........no one had 'trainers' (still to be invented). It was first come, first serve every lesson........last ones there ended up with size 11's and no laces........very amusing on a 12 year old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
