shdmn Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) I thought nobody wanted to come back to Thailand because reasons? That is what the serial whiners around here were saying and they are never wrong. They will probably now try say that these numbers are fake without presenting any evidence whatsoever. I guess those huge lines at immigration and at the airport were just my imagination. Edited September 3, 2023 by shdmn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had roadblocks counting them in and counting them out, and had them all produce receipts for all money spent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelseafan Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 18 hours ago, RichardColeman said: Yes, but do the chinese make up the most in spending ? Yes probably at the malls. Remember, it's Chonburi, not Pattaya per se. You probably don't see them Once again another report comes out without any explanation as to how they get to the figures although my guess is credit card sales. I'm a tourist, I use cash, probably spent upwards of 80k or so in a week, if this is the case then I'm not counted. Do I even exist ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem like fun though, arrive by coach .. stay for an overnight party and leave by coach. Many days 5 to six coach loads at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
