Here we go again TAT expects...

I expect $12 million in income, plus a lotterly win, this year. Wishful thinking is nice. But, does it have any influence on reality? 

Wonderful news for Thai business owners in PHUKET. 

12MILLIONS CONFIRMED ALREADY 55555

Another reason not to go there anymore. 

It was fantastic during COVID with empty beaches and relaxed atmosphere. 

What about the governments idea of sustainable tourism and quality, not quantity?
