Taxi drivers will be making a killing. I was taken for a long ride last night despite giving the driver direction but he declined to go to lat krabang through On Nut Rd on the ground it is jammed and congestion is really bad.the fare would have not exceeded 150bh but he managed to clock it 319baht missing my soi deliberately which means another 80baht.25m would be screwed thai stai?

one month to get the other  60k with 24.94 arriving so far this year. pretty safe bet then. will be the first time i ever recall a TAT prediction coming true.

Yes your math is correct.

But the Thai math believes that 9 months is the start of Sept. By the end of the month they should be around 28 M.

The preconceived future

It's very difficult to predict what tourists will do, and considerably more difficult to anticipate the behaviour of TAT.

The TAT is careful to say 'international visitors', which the news-writer immediately interpret as 'tourists'. Before cheering and waving flags and sating what a nice man that Mr Prayuth is, I'd like to get more information on what constitutes 'international visitors' and what constitutes 'tourists'.

 

Probably wrongly.
