[' We Were Cheated' Say Dutch-Thai Family In Phuket]

Why would a family use a tour / travel company for tickets and hotels this day in age?? You can do it all by yourself directly with an internet connection, credit card and a couple of mouse clicks!

Getting ripped off in Thailand, just another story to add to the list. The Thai's better be careful, the Philippines and Myanmar are nipping at their heels in the ways of tourism, and without tourism, Thailand aint got much going for it!

Careful now.....caaareful! Hey! What did I say? Beeee careful Thailand!

Over 60% of Thailand's GDP comes from exports. In comparison tourism covers about 6%.

Fair enough Kananga, but make no mistake that the benefits of Thailand's exports are region restricted (and even worse, controlled by Thailand's old elite.) Let's see how places like Pattaya, Phuket, or other islands such as Phi Phi, Lanta, or Lipe would fare if people simply stopped coming. As of now, Thailand has the third lowest unemployment rate in the world. This is due to the country's service sectors. Without people, there's no one to serve, that's all I was saying.

Thanks for brightening up an otherwise dull day

Haven't heard a statement like that since the Soviet Union claimed to have nil employment

First thing one should ask, what is the reason for any1 becoming a cop in Thailand?

1. Too stupid to do something else.

2. I get to shoot people, which is always fun.

3. I don't get any salary, but can make a fortune from bribes and extortion, forget about policing.

[Thailand To Issue Passport For Ex-PM Thaksin Soon: FM]
