inThailand Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Simple... want more tourists and good publicity. Offer a long time or short time discount coupon at you place of choosing along with a much better exchange rate on your money. Quit beating around bushless bush.

DrTuner Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thailand is probably running out of the Chinese on their first trip outside and duped by TATs broschures. They got back after the trip and spread the word. I doubt many come twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ever reaches a tippng point - goodbye good times, hello bad times. Personally, having seen the mansions some guys have built, and thinking about the amount of money pumped into the economy by short term sex tourists, I think their'll be a problem.

WeekendRaider Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 if they arrive by boat, sure. but the days of air travel are numbered, much more so than many of the “general population” are even at all vaguely aware of. notice that coverage of the protests at Heathrow this weekend, even in the Guardian, never delved at all into why an airport was quite appropriate.... usually they would embellish a story that way... but not even a newspaper such as the Guardian with relatively balanced coverage of Climate Change would dare connect dots to air travel and carbon emissions in such coverage. so any efforts to encourage tourism with air travel involved... is gonna backfire rather severely, and not way off in the distant future either. at some point some dynamic will be crossed as a threshold and there will be a call to do things. air travel is not as essential as everything else we do and consume, all of which still involve carbon emissions also, and it would take decades to safety test and swap out air fleets even if emissions free aircraft were at all possible.

The initial flood of Chinese have now had time to post their Thailand horror stories online. Numbers of Chinese visitors will now start to decline. Gradually at first and then they will fall off a cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look a little further than the end of your nose, the strength of the Baht is affecting all other currencies, in addition it is affecting Thai exports as the high Baht makes exporting goods more expensive.

First is that they have that evil thing called democracy going on, no such thing with the BFF China, second Thais prefer the China part of Indochina. But yes they'll soon bend over for anyone who bothers to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
