Do you consider yourself smarter than the average Thai?
I feel sorry for people whose only contribution to a forum is to try to put other people down. Haters. They must lead such barren and unfulfilled lives. -

Thai Airways Reduces Luggage Allowance for Select Economy Fares
Another pristine example of the wisdom of the marketing goons at Thai Airways. This airline is an excellent example, how a generation of absolute incompetence, marred with corruption and lack of control, appointment by bak shish rather than qualification, can ruin an absolutely fantastic product. Up to 1992, when Chatichai Bunya-ananta was forced into retirement as he reached 60 years of age, Thai Airways was a schoolbook example. Founded in 1960 and brought up to its feet with the joining of aviation experts from SAS (Scandinavia) resulted in a small "mother" company called Thai Airways (TH) running the much bigger daughter (TG) and in the late 80s TH and TG were merged into one big star on Asia's aviation sky. The top floors were run by aviation experts, formerly with British Airways, Japan Airlines etc. and that resulted in a customer-focussed product others could only dream about. After 1992 the Air Force and the ministry of finance moved in and ruined the airline to the tune of more than 300 billion Thai Baht; literally bankrupt beyond any chance of resurrection but, due to national pride, kept artificially alive with lots of support by the tax payers. A one-liner wraps it up nicely "TG is like a 7/11 store without cashiers on the way out and everyone is invited to help themselves". They can reduce their baggage allowance to below zero, as far as I am concerned; I have not flown with them in 20+ years and I shall never ever set foot into one of their aircraft - ever again! -

We’re smarter?…. How many Thais do you see walking into the local tax office and say “Sign me up!”… -

Thai Tourism Grapples with Declining Chinese Visitors
I think Thais are restricted by the fact that they need to believe that people are queueing up to visit Thailand, and they are only really interested in passive income when it comes to tourism. I find it hard to imagine them admitting, "People don't want to visit Thailand anymore, other countries are better. We need to work hard to attract and maintain high levels of tourism." But who knows what the future holds? More visa-free countries, perhaps?
