TAT is such a joke.

"U.S. ban could boost Middle East tourism to Thailand"

 

Unless they are from Saudi Arabia of course!

Just what Pattaya needs , more Iranians coming in on a short visa and staying 10 years or more.

So much for the pork industry in Thailand.  Can't eat the river catfish either.  What are you going to feed them? Not enough beef to go around.

"The Middle East is a big market for us, especially in the medical tourism sector. They may choose to visit Thailand more and this may also boost our sector," Tourism Authority of Thailand Governor Yuthasak Supasorn told Reuters.

He is right --as anyone who has visited Brumangrad or any of the top hospitals will tell you--there isn't to many white faces---& even less Thais there. Makes you wonder why they do not do something about it-- I am sure no one wants to travel 7 hours + , stay at hotels etc---maybe even die in a non Muslim country. They can spend millions on buying up football teams etc.

Somtam! Day in day out ... 

And rice (you know, that gigantic rotten stash, has to go somewhere after all ...).

Wow, a thread with a little something for everyone:

 

Thai bashers

Yank bashers

Muslim bashers

 

Does that make it a hat trick or a trifecta?

[mrfaroukh]

This is crazy. Why should they come to Thailand because of the US ban? As I know there are many students, employee etc who have dual citizenship or just work permit or student permit who are leaving in the USA and now they have problem if they leave the country.

Didn't notice anyone bashing Thais or Yanks.  I did see people having a chuckle at TAT who aren't actually all Thais but cluster of clowns.  I also observed people commenting on Trump who is one American.

Trump has presented his ban as a way to protect the United States from Islamist militants

Great idea, invite them all to come here as part of the "good guys in, bad guys out" policy.

 

[fish monger]

Keep dreaming....I bet most of the middle East doesn't have a damn clue where Thailand is....

[chainarong]

I can't think of any reason why,  I don't see many refugee's flooding across Thailand's borders wanting to come there........................

Lol. And most ME myslims are terrorist of course accirdung to your reptile brain. Just like all farlangs are paedos. And all blacks nigerian scammers. tvf, home of the lost cases ???

[kevc]

Its Muslims not myslims and if you read the papers you'd know its not a Muslim ban but a ban on people from those countries and the reason being to stop likely terrorists entering the country.. plus have you never heard of sarcasm or does that not exist in YOUR reptile brain
