Retiredandhappyhere Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Using TAT's methods, my Budget for my company would read as follows: Sales for next year are forecast to be between 500 billion and 10 billion. The first number assumes our current customers continue to buy our products and the second is based on the assumption that they don't. Net Profits, which normally amount to about 5% of sales, will (optimistically) follow the same pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure i have seen adverts for Thai airways on TV ("smooth as silk" is the slogan if i remember correctly) not seen one for a while though, maybe the money has run out. however, for several reasons, I have never been tempted to fly on one of their planes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont confuse me Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Of course they will succeed! Furthermore they will publish the numbers to prove it! And those numbers can be trusted lmfao ???? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomacht8 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Almost every week there is a TAT prediction about the future numbers of tourists. Is there a statistic that shows the forecast accuracy of the last 5 years? Or which prediction was correct in the last 5 years? If the number is zero, it would make sense to stop this prediction and crystal ball reading and spend the money on more important things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyoops Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I am sure people are just lining up to come to Thailand to get ripped off, after all their own countries are ripping them off right now, so why not Thailand. On the downside, they may not have any money left to go to Thailand to be ripped off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brian Hull Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 Thailand doesn't need new complicated strategies and campaigns. A bit of commen sense will do. Just copy Cambodia where everything is made easy and inviting for tourists and retirees. Here are a few suggestions > * TAT should stop dreaming about "quality" tourists and just be grateful that ANY tourists are spending their foreign money in Thailand. * Make a 3 month Tourist Visa good for THREE months - not TWO. * Scrap the 800,000THB requirement for a Retirement Visa. Most retirees who live solely on Social Security get about 500,000THB which would nearly ALL be spent in Thailand in support of mainly small traders, service providers, tuktuk drivers, etc. rather than on international hotels and other big business. To get a 12 months Retirement Visa, why not these simple requirements (1) Social security payments must be paid directly from the issuing authority in the relevant country into a Thai bank account, (2) Minimal health cover provided by the Thai government must be taken out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Meantime British Airways announce they won't be reinstating their LHR-BKK flights until next year at the earliest. How many other airlines have taken a similar stance or are flying fewer planes into Thailand? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Must be a definite error as the last estimate I came up with is 300 million tourists ......... outnumbering semi-divine Khon Thai on a ration of 1:4 - despite dual pricing and other funny ideas they have here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolgeoff Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 All depends in how people get a visa for their stay. If they make them go thru hoops or make it reasonable. i have my ticket for jan,now checking in getting the right visa and info from the embassy. They maybe right but all depends on a few factors and then they will return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shocked farang Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 30 million quality tourists hungry for Pad Thai! If each one eats 3 Pad Thais during their stay in LOS, we have 90 million Pad Thais being sold in 2023. Let's average the price of each Pad Thai at 100 Baht, so we have 1 billion Baht or about 250 million Us$... Not bad, not bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
