Wine In Checked Baggage

The chief economist for Siam Commercial Bank, Sethaput Suthiwart-narueput, makes some interesting observations in today's Bangkok Post on the future trajectory of Thailand's economic recovery.

He also comments on the nature of improvement needed in Thailand's tourism sector:

"The real problem with the Thai tourism sector is not on the demand side but the supply side. The current level of promotions and roadshows is not enough. We need to develop new destinations and improve on issues important to the quality of life and experiences of tourists, such as transport and water management."

"Quality of life" issues for tourists might have to be extended to include acting on the so-called "King Power Scam" at Suvarnabhumi airport which seems to have been largely neglected by the Thai media (Read today's BBC report). Tourists may reduce purchases from duty free stores if they are afraid of extortion at the hands of the police.

VERY confusing post; you're not allowed to post an entire article, published by the Bangkok Post, either.

If you post like that it is hard to respond; very confusing indeed!
