"Trust Me"

In over 40 years in "The Kingdom" I have seen many changes, most for the better, better for those with money and power.

I have seen it to long, it is just to hard. A legal document means nothing here, to many cavorts and exception , changes after the terms or what ever are agreed on.

The trust has disappeared, The country has lost its Credibility, one of the most difficult losses there is to recover from.

Even the proposed change won't help, sorry to say it took years to loose, slowly f^@k the foreigners, I personally believe it is to late to recover. So I believe Thailand is doomed to try and exist on tourism, but again the past is coming back to haunt them. The "Touts" are suffering the most they have been screwing the Tourists for 30 years, now the tourists are organized, tour companies have organized the chaos and plan everything, arrange everything, no surprises. Most tourists are On Vacation and don't want to be bothered, they have a itinerary and follow it, no thinking involved!

 

I see it now when the cruse ships come in to Natorn, everything has been organized by the cruse company, "things" are waiting for them when they arrive. We now see far less "Touts' , taxi's, rouge vans, everything has been arranged before they leave the ship and it works. (85%) take the offered tour or attraction packages offered.

 

Sorry to say that Thailand is no longer the only kid on the block.

Thailand has become the gateway for tourists continuing on to other country destinations.

It reminds me of a "bedroom community" only go there to rest, sleep before going out to other destinations. Like a base of operations, easy for the first time visitor, because this is there one and only ever trip, "once in a life time" You can see it in the number of transfer to other destinations from Thailand. To bad these people are counted as visitors, not transient.

 

I trust you mate as you speak the truth and I am glad to see after 40 years you have not been contaminated by lies. You are so right on the button.

Why have the condition you must sell to a Thai.

Cars in my name I'll sell to the highest bidder. Why should a house be different. Only leaves you open to take a limited offer.

Addressing the concern of the Thais They do not want foreigners to monopolize real estates

Dont get excited this is just for the eastern economic zones not all of Thailand 

 

How short sighted this is
