slapout Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Thailand appears to be a hub for several activities if the daily news we hear and read are true. pickpockets necklace snitch from a motorcycle run down the tourist / local in the crosswalk tourist shakedown by bib And my favorite, the fastest EMS service vs bib, as the injured are already in transport from accident scene prior to arrival of bib.

My point: dont bother understanding nor explaining maths/numbers in thailand. Unless u have a ver large and ver sloooooooooow calculator at hand.

worgeordie Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Promote the Sex tourism more,it's a know winner ,for a long time,or short time however you look at it, some guys will fall in love with girls from Isaan, build houses,vets bills for the sick buffalos, and will end up spending a lot more than the high grade tourists you are always looking for. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomacht8 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) ......to see and join in various sporting events, said the minister. Then the tenfold entrance fees for foreigners to see the Muay Thai boxing battles are certainly a bit of a hindrance. ..... leading Thailand as the hub of gems and jewelry... Unfortunately Thailand has a very bad reputation, caused by the many scammers who for decades have been able to sell unhindered their glass beads to unsuspecting tourists. This is described in countless tour guides. Also within the new target group: - Asian tourists, especially Chinese, Indian and ASEAN tourists - this will quickly spread around.In order to generate business in the future, the double-pricing system would have to be abolished and the constant fraudulent gangs, which have been haunting the tourists for decades (there are always the same criminals, only the names of their shops are changing), must withdrawn from circulation.

tukkytuktuk Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Lift the ban on deep water soloing. Lots of my friends used to enjoy this sport in Krabi but it was deemed dangerous and banned last year. If proffesional deep water soloing was regulated properly with the correct safety precautions it should be allowed. Come on TAT, bring back this extreme sport and you'll make a lot of climbing enthuiast's very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 God bless her little pea picken heart she is at it again with numbers to back things up. Must have worked the bean counters 24/7. When I first considered coming here it was all those brochures and alluring adds showing beautiful young ladies like sirens waving in the breeze that enticed me. For the sake of disclosure I did find one. Better put this mode of advertising on cancellation and withdrawal. Bring out the sports stars and tennis raquets. No dog racing betting not allowed not in the spirit of the "new" Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 As I understand it gem scams are one of the big problems for tourists. Tourists being sold low quality gems for vastly inflated prices. Now sure how the government will square this circle. First telling gem companies they have to stop ripping off tourists and nor promoting the same gem companies to tourists.

Retiredandhappyhere Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 1 hour ago, jonclark said: What exactly are these sporting events for tourists to attend - football matches??? Yes but hardly any Thais attend them. Those I have occasionally watched on TV, being too lazy to locate the remote control, seem to have no more than a few hundred spectators, despite the tourist minister once saying that Thailand was an avid supporter of Football. In some ways that is true of course, if you bring into account TV coverage of Manchester United , Liverpool and perhaps even Leicester City nowadays.

sawadee1947 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 This year, the target tourist group is sport tourists. This group of quality tourists travel with their families, have high purchasing power and stay in Thailand for a long time to see and join in various sporting events, said the minister. Wow, now they start to make Thailand a hub for all kind of sports..... Cheating, killing, stealing, fighting,.....what else? I forgot something?

Grubster Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Sex brings more revenue to Thailand than any other service or product they have to offer a tourist by far hands down. They have no idea as it is illegal and not monitored or taxed, but almost all of it gets spent here by the prostitutes, cops, bar owners, and their families.

bobbymack Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 A constant stream of deluded and ridiculous comments from that woman over a few years now. Why don't they concentrate on what they are good at and promote being the hub of sex. At least it is honest and would attract more tourists who perhaps don't know this. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakeupplease Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Asian tourists, especially Chinese, Indian and ASEAN tourists, are the target group of a plan to develop the country as the gems and jewelry hub as they are the only ones left that ain,t been ripped off yet can't wait to hear Olympics next on the agenda, mind you only the bon>ing kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
