Thailand Extends Visa-Free Entry for Indian Tourists Indefinitely
I think "Quality Tourism" has only ever been a soundbite and an attempt to pretend to nod towards Western driven concepts around sustainability etc. Like many developing countries, Thailand finds itself with an ambition to grow its economy, raise quality of life and needs to balance that with a developed world order focusing on sustainability and the environment. The reality, Thailand grew tourism from around 10m (2000) -- 16m (2010) -- 40m (2019). With > 1.5bn people within 3-4 hours, it makes sense to target Indians and broaden Thailand's market appeal. It's also an indication that the previously relied upon Chinese tourist market has slumped. Would be interesting to assess whether that is due to internal Chinese issues around their economy or boredom with Thailand. Anyway, with the Indian population still growing, they are likely to become the dominant tourist market in Thailand for the next 50 years...that means more Indian restaurants will surely be popping up - result ! -

Help needed - I am not nomad but visit Thailand often
I have done multiple shorts trips across the year. Maybe between 7-10 Typical stay is between 3-14 days. I told them about my employment because they said I am looking to come here to find work, so I had to explain no, I am here a few days to visit friends. I work and live in Singapore. -

Thailand Targets Eight Million European Tourists for Record 2024
If they said "enough," then our ace ANF Economists would loudly proclaim the coming collapse of the Thai economy, the emptying of the cities, and the return of Thais to the rice fields to eke out their subsistence. Eventually the market will find an equilibrium, as markets do. -

I will be quitting AseanNow
Yep, because that's what I wanted, but more importantly, all I needed. It's a machine that takes us from point A to point B. In the comfort level we require, nothing more, nothing less. That's why I don't need my Soc Sec. Don't waste funds on depreciating toys. Spent just as much money on land the last year, as we did on the MG. So if & when the wife needs another car, it will be from the profits of the land sale. Same as the MG now, and present house we live in. Paid for from the profits of the last house & land. That house was paid for partially from the first house we sold. See how that works. Not only do I not need my Soc Sec, I don't need to spend the money I came to TH with for appreciating purchases. Like the Soc Sec fund use to be, our money is a self generating fund for our future.
