Land and House Plc (LH) reported high occupancy rates at its Grand Center Point hotels in both Bangkok and Pattaya ahead of the upcoming Chinese New Year festive period, according to Mr. Wit Tantivorawong, managing director for support division for LH.

Mr. Wit stated that room reservations at LH hotels reached 80-90% ahead of the Chinese New Year, which will run from February 7th-15th. He highlighted a notable rise in independent Chinese travelers, particularly in Pattaya.

 

The festival also attracted a diverse mix of tourists, with 40-50% being Thai and the remainder comprising various nationalities, including Chinese, Malaysians, Indians, and Europeans.

Sounds nice but 40-50% are Thai tourists.....What is a definition of a tourist in Thailand??  Someone living in Thailand and sleep in another place for a few days? Than it is only domestic tourism and is no new money coming in the economy

Many of my Chinese friends in China are now heading to Laos.

There must be a reason.

Maybe you are right.

I won't go.

Never have been there.

No desire to go.

You couldn't even pay me to go there.

Thailand, forever.

Not at all.

I met a few genius girls while there.

I am still in touch with them, but only now in the virtual sense.

Used to be a good border run trip. Over the bridge at Nong Khai, a couple of days in Vientiane while they get you a tourist visa. Quite a nice little town to visit and a meal or beer overlooking the river is pleasant.

Have you ever passed by the GIANT houses of ill repute there?

One house in that quaint town has about 1000 rooms, or something.

No windows on the outside of the building.

Looks quite mysterious until you actually get inside.

Then, all becomes clear.

No I never did. I was in a few girly bars over there, but it seemed nice to have a break from the Pattaya type scene! Even took a Thai girlfriend there once.
