"...Tourism and Sports Minister to organize roadshow events in 4 countries...China, America, England, France and Iran, she said... " 

 

Four (4) countries ??? 

 

Could this be a Freudian slip on the 20% kickback she was anticipating from organising the trip?  

[ezzra]

Are going to see another half million baht cost fiasco spend on those lucky ones?

and what is a sport roadshow anyway? and how do you roadshow sport I wonder?....

[dcnx]

They sending the Tiffany ladyboys on tour?

Immigration might have some objections with letting in too many Iranians. Based on personal experience.

Why not do like recently introduced in India, that would be attractive and no need for this roadshows, let the people come.

And please teach the Thai Embassy in France to be user friendlier, also based on personal experience.

Why the one hand want to give and show how great Thailand is, while the other hand takes it all away.

Oh! Some more roadtrips for the chosen! Money well spent!

and cancel the limitations on visa exempt at airport and land borders.

Many people will choose Thailand again for holidays or as a base. 

In the last three years Thailand only geerated bad news related to tourism and related

business.

[Saraphee]

Who's the farang with the badly fitting suit?

[arrowsdawdle]

All this baht talk about what is going to happen. Dreams. Is there ever any talk about substantiated incremental revenues? That would be facts.

On the clock and all expenses paid. On the backs of Mr. & Mrs. Somchai citizen.

[Lupatria]

Too bad they left out Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and Afghanistan again.

[arrowsdawdle]

TAT or DOT, whatever they call it now, still bandy about such baht projections that one wonders if money laundering is involved.

[Thian]

Ekkuse me....what are thailands main tourist attractions??? Is that standing on Kao Yai between a million others making a picture of the mist??

[Retiredandhappyhere]

A Thai roadshow in China, America, France, England and Iran.  Expect to see the road deaths in those countries to escalate  !

[mtls2005]

"Four countries"?

 

The roadshow events will be organized in China, America, England, France and Iran, she said.

 

"Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and fear..."

 

Among the countries we'll be visiting are...

 

 

[JAG]

Who's the farang with the badly fitting suit?

A quality tourist who visited Bangkok for the unrivalled tailoring opportunities?

It's a hub you know...

I hope the hotels they stay in have all the paintings and ornaments screwed down securely.

Yes and I am expecting a new Rolls Royce for my birthday. These bean counters just never sleep its all about the money honey. Do some tourist infrastructure spending that might help much more and throw some bahts and amulets down the closest wishing well that might get you more results. A road show holiday perchance. 

[tukkytuktuk]

Exciting Stuff. Nothing like the radio 1 roadshow. Boring as hell. People must go for the free sandwiches and tea.

[Redline]

It's not called America, the name is USA, at least for now.

It sounds like a trafficker that thought this was his email.  Screwed up

[Lingba]

Roadshow???...or do they mean circus?

[performance]

She is not a bad sort. A bit more of a revealing dress and a sexy dance may entice. Anyone got her FB. I may inbox her for a date lol.

Stalker No

So if you can, like I can fight bloody back and let the worlds tourists know what to expect on a visit to thailand these days and it aint good is it

 

Sorry guys I hate thieving liars

 

Smile to your face as they rob you right left and centre

 

We in the media will be asking the right questions when she arrives here

 

I do not think that is stalking its in my eyes informing and protecting Brits and others from the carnage of a country that is now just totally untrustworthy in every sense of the world
