Popular Post uzynkotak Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Cause when you're rich, every place in the world can be like Thailand. Even better because n most countries in the world, you don't have to deal with all the TM30 BS having to report your whereabouts like a criminal every time you move to another hotel.

Popular Post sqwakvfr Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 Not just the ultra rich. $100 million or more have the entire world as an option. If I made $100,000 or more in retirement I doubt I would have LOS on my list. Does TAT understand the term “demographics” in terms of the many who come to LOS? “Cheap place to spend on vacation or retire”. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BritManToo Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Thailand doesn't have anything the rich want. If I were rich I wouldn't come here either.

Yea , because the ultra-rich don't have people taking care of these things LOL I am sure most of the Ultra rich come to Thailand once or twice, but why would they spend their holidays here? What is here that would keep them coming back? One thing is reaching critical mass. The very rich, go where other very rich go. Why? First they create a market that develops an infustracture to support their lifestyle. Second the biggest contributor to success is proximity to success. Birds of a feather roost together. See and be seen !! Locations in the Mediterranean has not only proximity with other successful people it has proximity to many different locations where successful people congregate. The can spend a few days on their yacht in Santorini, then yacht over to Malta for a couple days , the to the sour of france, or Italy or park it and jump on a short flight to every European location. Here, well I guess they can hop over to Vietnam for some Pho. Edited October 16, 2023 by sirineou 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalasiner Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I knew a rich guy who spent his summer holidays at the Hotel du Palais in Biarritz, France. He always had a suite at the top of one of the twin towers. One year the hotel deeply regretted that they could not give him the suite because both were already booked; by the Duchess of Windsor (Wallace Simpson) and Frank Sinatra. Luckily, Frank Sinatra cancelled. He never visited Thailand, probably because he enjoyed a glass of fine wine and could not afford the outrageous Thai prices for a tipple.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a tennis journalist and it reminds me of when I stayed at a hotel in Berlin at the same time Bill Clinton was there. Martina Hingis regularly had a suite on the top floor but the entire floor was reserved for Bill's entourage. She was most put out and told the press it was probably for all his women. The pr people went into panic mode, begging us not to quote her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker88 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Plenty of the wealthy come to Thailand, though not as many as russians escaping conscription. The Oriental's top suites go for ~550,000 baht/night during the high season, and tend to be booked most nights. Plenty of better restaurants serve expensive wines such as Solaia or Sassicaia, or even a top French burgandy such as La Romanee Monopole. The FBO at Don Mueang will take care of the Gulfstream while the visitors enjoy high tea at the Authors Lounge. Those guests are not backpackers or budget travelers. Everybody comes to Thailand at least once. Some stay....discreetly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
