Popular Post webfact Posted January 24 Popular Post Share Posted January 24 Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has outlined plans to transform Thailand into an Asian aviation hub. The announcement was made during his keynote speech at the Thailand 2024 The Great Challenges event. He highlighted the government’s focus on tourism and the introduction of several measures to boost the industry, including reciprocal visa exemption programmes. A reciprocal visa exemption deal will be signed with China this week, according to the premier. Additionally, talks are planned with the European Union to discuss a similar agreement with Schengen countries. PM Srettha detailed the government’s ambitious aim to upgrade the nation’s aviation sector, which would necessitate streamlined immigration procedures, flight overhauls, and the construction of airports in secondary cities. He underscored the significance of extending economic opportunities to Thai citizens through major projects, referring to the Thaksin Shinawatra government’s decision to construct the Suvarnabhumi airport as a past example, reported Bangkok Post. He stated, “Over the past two decades, we had governments that saw opportunities and seized them.” by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of Thairath Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-25 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 By now Thailand must be the hub for almost anything. Does anybody have a list of all the Thailand hub promises from the last decades and what actually happened? Is Thailand the hub for anything? Of course there is the nightlife, but I don't remember if that was ever promoted. 3 2 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Guderian Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 6 hours ago, webfact said: He stated, “Over the past two decades, we had governments that saw opportunities and seized them.” Really? Please do enlighten us and give us a few examples. About the only opportunity they've grabbed in recent years that the neighbours haven't also adopted is deregulating cannabis, and the government currently seems intent on reversing that move. If they've seized so many opportunities then why has the war-torn Vietnamese economy been growing around twice as fast over the past two decades? Even the humble, backwards Philippines has outperformed mighty Thailand. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post outsider Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 Let me help with the inaccuracy... "Over the past two decades, we had governments that saw opportunities and seized scammed them." ... LoS is a hub for at least one thing - xenophobia, scamming and, exploiting/abusing foreigners. Sorry that was three things. LoS - Land of Sniggers, Land of Scams... take your pick. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
