so 300k a month times that by the remaining 7 months and you have 2.1 million visitors in addition to the maybe 1  million ytd, If they want to get to the 5 million mark they better get those Indians, Saudi's, and Other Asean Countries visitors on the planes......

When you starve the tourist number to virtually zero. Any improvement is...err...huge improvement.

How this man holds this position makes me shudder...

Not rocket science,  if you open up a Country to tourists you will see a increase in tourism....Duh

"Thailand Sees More Visitors, Higher Exports".

 

Thailand's politicians see many things.

 

They need glasses.

Not with the current exchange rate

Considering the pandemic, and now some battles and other unrest around the world

is affecting how much money people have anywhere to be taking a big vacation. like 

flying half way round the world to spend their 3 weeks to a month holiday vacation, most

working people get for vacation per year. It is only the retired who may have extra money

that can stay for 2 to 5 months away from their homes. I only know a few rich people

who can afford the luxury of being away from their businesses, and companies for more

than a month or so. Remember when the cats away, phrase.  I guess if the dreamers in

Thailand think that things are different, well reality will bite them soon enough.

The great and benevolent leader has already insured happiness. Now, he is showing the vast purity of his heart, by allowing the people to celebrate, drink beer and wine in restaurants again, and have some fun. 
 
He is lowering unemployment.
He is growing the economy.
He is doing everything in his power to open the country up again, and increase tourism revenue.
He is increasing exports.
He is making visa policy easy, simple and streamlined, and all tourists are very happy about that. He is working on the attitudes of government workers, and making sure they are open and friendly to both tourists, and ex-pats.
He is improving traffic and public safety.
He is working day and night to eliminate the air quality issues, that have become a catastrophe for the nation. 
Corruption is being eliminated, and innocent fall guys are no longer getting charged for murder, and being put to death.
The taxi mafia on Samui and Phuket have been eliminated, and tourists can now get a taxi at a fair price. They are also adding multiple options of cheap public transportation on the Southern islands. 
 
Life is better for all now that this great man is demonstrating his genius and vision on a daily basis. All he cares about is the welfare of his own people, and the happiness of both tourists and the ex-pat community. He contemplates this day and night.

In 2019 TaT was counting 110,000 incoming tourists daily.

So that's 92% less coming now.

 

Anyone running a business that reduced it's customer numbers by 92% in two years would be sacked for gross misconduct.

Easy to say tourism numbers have increased, when CL measured against near nothing. However, it means very little to the masses.
