Sri Racha, Chonburi – A cruise ship arrived in Sri Racha with more than 2,200 passengers that is set to generate 22 million Baht according to relevant officials.

 

Yesterday, (February 17th) at 10:00 A.M. a team of Chonburi officials led by the Chonburi Governor Mr. Tawatchai Srithong welcomed the QUEEN MARY 2 cruise ship at the Laem Chabang Pier.

 

Governor Tawatchai told the Pattaya News, “Chonburi has a pier for large ships and this time we have welcomed the Queen Mary 2. After the cruise ship docked at the pier, passengers on the cruise ship visited Pattaya, Sattahip, and Chonburi. Each tourist spends on average 10,000 baht which can boost the local economy.”

May be so, but how many will actually book a shore excursion and how many will remain onboard to enjoy the ship's facilities????? (zero Baht)

If all the 2200 passengers on the Ship disembark, and find their way into Sri Racha, the estimated 22 M spend will equate to 10,000 baht PP 

Hardly Earth shattering numbers

Stay on board in air conditioned comfort, enjoying a buffet and drinks, or go ashore and get fleeced.

Tough choice.

Yes 10,000 baht each apparently......probably mostly gone on the rip-off taxis from the port!

Because the officials are relevant rather than irrelevant?????????

A post with a derogatory trolling generalization toward Sri Racha has been removed:

 

14. You will not post slurs, degrading or overly negative comments directed towards Thailand, Thai people, Thai culture, Thai institutions such as the military, judicial or law enforcement system or specific locations within Thailand.

It didn't say "spend." Generate. Very different.

 

Usual ANF Poster Economics.

One can only assume that the term "statistician" is outside your vocabulary.
