Chiangmai Tourist Number Drops My A Million

[spaceshipcrew]

This weeks frontpage of Chiangmai Mail shows Heads spin as tourist numbers drop by almost a million

So, we have 'spinning heads', and the article (only mentions the facts but nothing about possible solutions) ends with 'what is being done about it ?'

Perhaps I'm wrong, but it makes me wonder... IS this actually an important topic for the local gov ?

If Chiangmai DOES want the tourists back, what is the solution for Chiangmai in farangs eyes ?

my donation:

• immediate ban on double pricing, it's very respectless and insulting
  
• higher standards for sidewalks, rules and standardisation for privately owned pieces in the sidewalk
  
• car fee zones, only supplying of goods from 4 - 11 am
  
• gov intervention for abandoned kalare square and getting the shops back
  
• new stalls for the nitebazar, the old ones are crap
  
• a 'tourist commitee' by farangs who advises the local gov
  

you ?

The winner wil get a seat in the municipal council !*
