Thailand does have alot to offer. But, world class shopping is not one of them. Any wealthy friend who has visited has told me the wife was complaining about not being able to shop. Not a lack of selection. But, stupid pricing on luxury goods. So, you want to attract wealthy tourists? Lower luxury taxes to 20%. And wine taxes to 60%.

 

In other words, do something unfathomable. Make a sacrifice for tourism. 

You mean start being sensible if you really want high end tourists!! 

Oh whoopey, I just can't wait for all those groups of Chinese to arrive on their Chinese charter flights. The street kitchens and the 7 eleven stores will have a 10% up turn in takings and the Chinese partnered business's in Thailand will have to stock up on garbage bags and floor cleaner.

That's fine, as the Chinese seem to prefer food and snack shopping at Big C...
