How Much Money Is Being Lost From These "protests" ?

[wintermute]

I'm curious and I haven't seen any reliable sources or estimates so far. They've shut down airports, disrupted rail lines, and caused incalculable damage to the image of Thailand which surely effects tourism. I've had friends and relatives call me up from the U.S. asking me if everything is OK over here. Anyone certain? I'm guessing it has to be at least over 200 million baht in damage so far. Airlines operate on a threadbare profit margin as it is.

Far more then this !!!!!

My company alone has lost in the region of 50 Million THB

A friend that works at Marriot hotels has reported a 4.5 Million USD loss for september in cancelled bookings

And if you just add in the cancelled flights from Phuket @ 15,000 Passengers x 2500 THB = 37.5 Million THB

So just looking at this ( and only from what i know it is already ) we are already looking at the 200 Million THB mark

But i would also like to know the amount, as it will come into the Billions .......

Well strangely i have just made 24000 baht for a quick 17 day rent and rented out another 2 condos for 12 months each to westerners and had a present tenant extend for 6 months. Guess not everyone is panicking uneccessarily?

By the time all this mess is finally cleaned up, there will be BILLIONS lost, not to mention those repercussions, on down the line, it is a no win situation money wise, so very sad for Thailand, it is a country trying to go "back-wards" not "forward, so far it is seceding in doing that.

yes but the prize for the winning trough feeders businesses

completely outweigh any considerations of other consequences!

Yesterday morning alone the company lost B10mil in cancelations and I lost B100k in commisions

Today not as bad, it all depends on how bad the strike will affect everything.

Have spent the last 2days doing damage control, I am tired.....
