Thailand Eyes Senior Tourists for '25, Aiming for 40 Million Visitors
They appear to be targetting instaed Benidorm British crowd, indian sex pests, and draft dodging Russians.

Thailand Ranked 106th in English Proficiency Out of 116 Countries
A few years back I was offered a job with EF – I turned it down because I felt they weren’t so much as an education company as a cult. EF spends a lot of time publicising its English Proficiency Index (EPI), which ranks countries based on English language ability. However, experts and analysts question the validity of EF’s rankings, as they are based solely on test results from self-selected participants rather than comprehensive national assessments. As I said before critics argue that EF’s rankings may be influenced by marketing strategies rather than objective linguistic data. Although EF Education First is a leader in global language education, but there are controversies hanging like a cloud over this company which suggest there is a need for greater oversight and transparency. There are serious issues related to teacher hiring, student safety, and host family selection indicate systemic challenges that the company must address to maintain trust and credibility in the educational sector. Until EF implements stricter safeguards and more transparent policies, scepticism about its operations and rankings is likely to persist. Also the media need to be careful about uncritically publishing their rankings as their compilation seems pretty dubious
