Yes, no doubt these blogs would be selectively published; the more idealised, nay, fictionalised the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, no doubt these blogs would be selectively published; the more idealised, nay, fictionalised the better. In that case, I don't think I will apply.

tuanku Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm thinking of a particular English family, elderly parents and son, who had a memorable experience of Thai culture. I wonder if they are interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winniedapu Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Sweet Jesus... But this is not because the tourism sector is falling... nossir. It's because the tourism sector is setting records every month and all the other promotions and advertising have worked superbly, so they don't need any more because Thailand is already full. Watching for pigs on the wing... "There are many hundreds of bloggers and photographers out there who record their stories about Thailand online." So many in fact that there needs to be an effort to find them because they must be hiding. 1st prize: A holiday in Thailand, with all scams and ripoffs included free. 2nd prize: 2 Holidays in Thailand with all... ... 3rd prize. Pay for the trip yourself, but shake hands with the Thai PM and get a video of all his Friday night homilies and a .mp3 of his famous song (usual value 50 Thai sataang)..

They will be sorted out and thrown into 2 hats. One hat is positive and one is negative. The draws will be made from the positive hat. There is a good chance that the positive hat could be "stuffed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
