The daily announcement from the Ministry of Propaganda...................coffee1.gif

Except the numbers are different from the announcement yesterday!!

Gets just a little boring!!

Thai who book hotelrooms from big hotels can subtract it from their income to pay less tax.

So start collecting hotelbills folks.

Wasn't it 3 million foreigners last week and 2.5 million where from china alone?

Ummm, is my maths wrong, or is that only 6000 baht per person??.... cheepskates!!

coffee1.gif In the land of propaganda the only thing you'll read is BS.

So it was Songkran that is going to attract all those extra tourists rather than the lifting of Martial Law???

"Tourists" and "foreigners" are not synonyms and being Chinese doesn't disqualify someone from being classified as a tourist.

Apparently boring announcement generate boring comments, but given the thread title, there' a fairly obvious trick to avoid reading the O/P rather than rushing to be the post one to post a comment.

I hope she gets canned one of these days. She is quite annoying.

2.5 million tourists

Generate 14.5 billion baht in "income"

Over the period of 11 to 19 April

Let's pull out the calculator.

That's 644 baht per person, per day.

One super soaker

Three happy water shirts

One cheap umbrella

Five cases of beer

And money left over for street food.

Let the good times roll!
