Beetlejuice Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The airline companies are probably concerned that if the protesters shut down air traffic control or seize the airports again, their planes could remain grounded in Bangkok, which could cost them millions of dollars in lost revenue.I don`t blame them for avoiding Bangkok until the conclusion of this present crisis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globeman Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 If all sex tours to The land of smiles are cancelled its goodnight Thai economy. Theres not all that much else here. Got any figures to back that up? You reckon the countless busloads of mixed gender Chinese group tours are sex tourists? I guess it is natural enough to assume the world one lives in bears a strong resemblance to the rest of the world... however incorrect that may be.

Asiantravel Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have seen lots of scintillating and crystal clear waters in Thailand. Admittedly, they were nowhere near pattaya, jomtien, patong, etc. I remember taking a half day snorkeling trip from Koh Chang, on some of the little islands we visited, one could see clearly to the bottom, in 20-30 feet of water. The water was teeming with fish as well. Also, on a day trip from phuket, to some little island just off the south tip, the water was stunning, the beach was clean and pure white sand. The bottom was covered with healthy corals, with thousands of beautiful little fish swimming around. One must get away from the centers of sleaze and sex tourism to see these beautiful places. But such scintillating and crystal clear waters are also easily accessible in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia and soon Myanmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fab4 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well you can always rely on The Nation to sensationalise anything they think they can blame the government for. In the real world, the reality is that the president of the Thai-Japan Tourism Association has said that Japanese tourists have cancelled plans to visit Thailand because of the Emergency Decree. That is not the same as saying that Japan has called off all tours, but of course that wouldn't be so damning a headline would it. It obviously hasn't stopped the usual suspects leaping on the bandwagon though. The Nation is so obvious in its political slant it would be laughable if it wasn't so serious.

Maybe not much more for tourists, but there is a great deal for travelers to see -- the beauty of Ayutthaya and the Wats nationwide, watching the sunrise over the Andaman Sea, the short rugged mountains of the north, the scintillating waters of Phretchabkirikahn... There is so much more here than sex tours I could not fit it into two books. So tell me. How many Andaman Sea sunrises have you seen from Thailand?

No. The way I see it is that there's a movement of civil disobedience occurring with an objective of electoral reform. Nevertheless, it is this movement of civil disobedience that is causing the current damage to the country. Nevertheless? There's a world of difference between the two! Having said that, I see the damage coming from a political party by hook or by crook (no pun intended) trying to hang on for 180 days so they can push through the Amnesty Bill. If Yingluck is so secure in her power base, what's the harm in resigning office. A few reforms can be made, and there could even be another election *before* the 180-day deadline. But in the real world, we have Yingluck being investigated for her part in the rice scam and fake G2G deals. And 308 MPs being investigated for their part in the Amnesty Bill. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the elections (if they're held), but my guess is things will be different when the 180-day deadline rolls around. If Yingluck doesn't do the right thing, the military may be forced to step in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiamint Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 If all sex tours to The land of smiles are cancelled its goodnight Thai economy. Theres not all that much else here. ------------------ Pure nonsense...... Industries in Thailand that export products made in Thailand (even if they are Japanese cars) are a far greater proportion of the real Thai economy than tourism actually is. Only a small percentage of the Thai economy actually depends directly on Tourism, and only a small part of that actually trickles down to the street level Thai worker. It may have been true 30 or 40 years ago that tourism was a major player in the Thai economy, but that has changed now. When I worked in Greece on the island of Crete I used to shop in a large Greek supermarket chain. I remember they sold canned Tuna there. That Tuna was packed in Thailand at a packing plant just outside of Bangkok and it said so on the label. I won't give you the name, but it was a major international brand name well known all over Europe and the U.S. also. Just last week there was an article in an English language Thai newspaper about the large investment that Ford Motor Company was making in Thailand where their cars would be assembled. And actually, "packaged sex tours" are only a minor part of the Japanese tourist traffic anyhow. This is 2014, not 1980, and the Thai economy has changed drastically since then. Times have changed, my friend. (The first time I came to Thailand was in 1977, and I can remember the illustrated Japanese books with the girl's photos in the massage parlors for Japanese tourists back then.) No more. At last someone with some sense, well done for putting that dumb comment in it's place, some people are really so dumb and stupid they really think it's all about sex.
