KKr Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) This seems quite an opportunistic statement, however to my strategy consultant it seems to be a well executed tactical step to achieve the next milestone in the multi decade development strategy ahead of plan, and to accelerate the re-positioning of tourism from a basic entertainment, learning and enjoyment activity into an experience in a virtual society accessible from home. Respect and wye-wye !! Edited August 17, 2016 by KKr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Really have to wonder, who is more lacking in sense, the tourism minister, or the tourists who keep coming to Thailand despite it all... Yes, it seems that the demographics have changed in recent years, weighting much more heavily to Chinese and Middle Eastern tourists -- for whom Thailand must seem like a paradise of freedom compared to their own homes. But, from my vantage point in a BKK tourist area, I still see lots of Japanese and Koreans, and still appreciable numbers of Europeans and in particular Brits. Now, why in the world those groups would want to choose Thailand as a tourism destination these days is the bigger mystery to me. Yes, the tropical weather remains an appeal. But for anyone who's remotely a so-called quality tourist, the reasons NOT to come would seem overwhelming. I could recite a list, but you all know all the reasons very well. Somehow, reality's just not setting in out there in the big wide world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what's needed, hoards of tourists (of a certain nationality), who seem to have zero spacial awareness anyway, wandering around with their heads in their phones. EDIT Great minds think alike P28 "..... wandering around with their heads in their phones". Most Thais do that anyway, so they should fit in well.

Niantic, the makers of the game, are a Californian company. Way at to save Thailand!!! but but but i thought Thailand was the only place you can play this game ??????? it just goes to show speak like you know what you are talking about and you get a ministerial post, does Thailand the land based around cartoon noises and figures( check out the TV shows) need even more of their population heads buried in their phones, walking heads down, driving bikes, cars, etc, there is enough of that now with social media, wait for the unexplained increase in road accidents (due to this new fad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us have had the misfortune to encounter this 'lady' up close and personal and to witness her fake crying (no tears) when she tells the sycophants around her how much she 'loves the Thai people'. Even a cartoon Pokemon has more brains, morality and integrity than this 'person' ! Edited August 17, 2016 by Eligius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saladin Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Here are a few simple ideas to increase revenue from tourism - 1. Make 3 month Tourist Visas valid for 3 months (not 2) so that tourists don't drift off to spend their money in a neighboring country after 60 days rather than wasting their time and enduring the hassle of extending it for the final 30 days at Thailand's notoriously inefficient Immigration offices. 2. Extend the duration of Tourist visas to 4 months or 6 months. 2. Standardise the rules for visas in all Thai consulates in foriegn countries to remove uncertainties instead of leaving it to the local staff to make their own rules. 3. Stop banning alcohol consumption in restaurants every time there is a religious or Royal holiday, the amount of which Thailand must hold the world record.
