BestB Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I can not help but wonder if EU arrivals will not be affected by the war? as Russia closed its airspace it does mean many routes have to go around, adding 2-3 hour of flying time, which means more fuel and also means higher cost in addition to oil prices already being sky high 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lacessit Posted March 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2022 I am wondering when the authorities will start appreciating the money that is getting fed into the Thai economy by people who decided to retire here after starting off as tourists. I won't hold my breath, though. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand ,can you extend them credit facilities till the sanction is lifted? So you are saying that it is still possible for Russians to fly here and to fly home. Thank you, wasn't too clear on that.

The West have proven they will not interfere in an oppressive country invading a weaker country! Old Sleepy Joe may dither a bit but won't do anything; the EU won't do anything as it may mean it will affect trade; the UK will shout a bit but are too weak to have any effect; Japan will condemn them but is as weak as the UK, USA, and EU! Thailand and all the African countries that are beholden to China won't speak out as they've sold themselves to China! China has taken over as the main manufacturer in the world -- our manufacturing bases have been destroyed due to the inability to compete with cheaper prices -- and greed and lack of forethought by our governments!

SpanishExpat Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 **** Thailand /TAT and everyone who is just focussing on tourist numbers in a situation like that! Thailand should be happy that their country is not important at all in the global context! If they would be important and global media would catch up about their disgusting approach of not distancing themselves from the Russian governemnt, tourists of many nations would boycott to spend their holidays in LOS. Nothing more to add! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an implicit agreement that the US will defend Taiwan though for the sake of diplomacy not in writing. Ukraine not being in NATO has no similar promises.
