Then why didn't she articulate this as a reason. Oh wait! I forgot. She can't articulate anything. Only gave rehearsed answers. People saw straight through her as being a fraud and voted accordingly. -

Thai Hotels Alarmed by Foreign Business Practices
File photo courtesy: Wikimedia The Thai hospitality industry is raising alarms about the infiltration of foreign businesses leveraging local nominees, a practice perceived as damaging to Thailand’s esteemed tourism image. The Thai Hotels Association (THA) has sounded the alarm as concerns mount that these activities could trigger detrimental price wars, particularly amongst lower-tier hotels. Thienprasit Chaiyapatranun, president of the THA, articulated that approximately 50% of Thai hotels are uneasy about these illegal enterprises, notably Chinese-run establishments, as revealed by the association's business sentiment index for October. Higher-end hotels, though targeting distinct markets, foresee potential harm to Thailand's tourism image due to these activities, which may, in turn, depress market prices. Chaiyapatranun has urged government agencies to intensify efforts against these unlawful operations, highlighting their potential to undermine the integrity of the entire tourism sector. Hotels rated three stars or lower feel the pinch more acutely as these unauthorised competitors directly threaten them by impacting pricing and reputation. As November approaches, coinciding with peak tourist influx, occupancy rates appear buoyant yet uneven. October ended with a nationwide hotel occupancy of 57.6%, a noticeable increase from last year’s 54%. However, higher-rated hotels reported a more robust performance at 60.2% occupancy, compared to 52.7% in the lower bracket. Amidst rising visitor interest, top-tier establishments confront staff shortages, impacting service quality despite being able to host more guests. Hoteliers are calling for government training initiatives to attract crucial roles like cleaners and waiting staff, addressing labour deficits. Furthermore, the industry appeals for stable foreign exchange rates to sustain operational stability. Prompt financial aid for those affected by recent floods is also essential to ensure swift recovery during the high season. The collective efforts aim to safeguard Thailand’s tourism sector, preserving its reputable allure, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-13 -

Your extension ends on the date of your divorce. If you qualify, you can apply for a new extension based on e.g. retirement, or you can apply for 7 days to leave the country but you do not get the 7 days automatically.
