Go to a beach that's not accessible by car. 99% of Thais and Chinese can't be arsed to move more than 150m from their chariots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 WOW that's a lot of tourists... well done thailand...but i'm not sure you can count the chinese tourists in...since most of them with zero dollar tours, or just walk around their hotels and spend zero.2 dollars on cheap noodle soup.

Not sure how bad it is in Phuket, though, Pattaya is pretty much fully invaded. None of the folks that I know that used to come here regularly for years are coming again. They looked elsewhere.

Pesky Foriginers. Ps, Just love the title of this thread. Quote Thailand welcomes 16.4 million foreigners so far this year Should have gone the full hog, and called them Alines.
