snoop1130 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Tourism minister is not worried with Thailand being named one of the most dangerous countries Tourism and Sports Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul is optimistic that foreign tourists have trust and confidence in safety while travelling in Thailand despite the World Economic Forum’s report placing Thailand among the world’ 20 most dangerous countries for tourists. WEF’s Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report for 2017 which was recently released ranks Thailand in the 19th place among a list of 20 most dangerous countries for tourists.

darksidedog Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Yesterday, the suggestion Thailand was dangerous, was supposed to be out of date news. Bad information and all that. Today, they admit, you can come here, be robbed, stabbed, shot, run over, raped, ripped off, murdered or just plain set up by the cops, but "We have Cookies, and they're good!" I add, that if the Thai minister of tourism, isn't worried about Thailand, rightfully in my mind, being named as seriously dangerous, she bloody well should be.

ChrisY1 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 None of them are worried about the dangers here for tourists, which is blatantly obvious due to a useless police force and rampant mafia ....nor are they worried that the airport has been named amongst the worst 10 globally....criticism of Thailand is always incorrect!

anon4637435435 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I could go one better and say "They Dont Care About THAILAND" Things said like that should get these idiots fired. Whats wrong with the criminals here. They are proud of it? Best change the brochures then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gios50hk Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) 12 hours ago, clockman said: There is non so blind, as those that cannot see! Absolutely! But then would you trust an organisation that claims annual tourist arrivals as 34 million - when much more reliable international sources calculate it to be more like 25 million? However, it is not just TAT that is blind to the ills of Thailand - rampant crime and corruption has revealed by numerous sources (including the recent WEP study, New York Times and John Stapleton's book) are immediately downplayed and dismissed by Thai authorities. Its one thing to be blind to these issues - but a completely different matter to be utterly deluded. Edited June 14, 2017 by gios50hk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 A few days ago someone posted here she is one of the most qualified ministers in this country. Now that's a reason to be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamgeorgeallen Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 why would she worry? she gets paid either way. firing her would be like admitting things are going wrong so her job should be safe. the tourists that are coming here are obviously not worried so why should anyone else?

Sydebolle Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Kobkran is not an asset but one of the worst liabilities this country's public relation has. Replace her immediately and put an expert into her seat; she's ready for looking after grand children and Likae (ลิเก), the old art of musical folks drama.

dexjnr555 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thailand is relatively safe, if you don't go looking for trouble. I feel safe walking around in the middle of the night for instance. Can't say the same for other countries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
