So they can implement the long-haul tax

 

Siripakorn Cheawsamoot of TAT highlighted that travellers are willing to pay more taxes for sustainable practices, urging global standards for Thai tourism.

--> there fixed it

If you target everyone....rich Indians, poor Chinese, wealthy Saudis, poor Indians, digital nomads, back packers.....then you are not really targeting.....this is just a panicked, blunderbuss approach.

Doesn't Thailand still build coal-fired power plants? Isn't its air pollution caused by unfettered burning of crop stubble?

 

Sustainable, my donkey.

So just exclude the currently most favoured nations, China, Russia, India and Kazakhstan, who also supply maybe 70% of the criminal entrants to Thailand, and you're left with your most valuable markets. Pity you overlooked them for so long.

And in addition, count the cost of chinese scammers and illegal russian workers. Bottom line is, they've stolen more than the legit tourists have brought in. And most of the money they have brought in to buy property etc has been dirty, and just being laundered here. It's a case of not knowing who your friends are Thailand. Kick 'em in the nuts and they'll soon go elsewhere.
