He said 32 to a dollar would be better. 1 baht at 0.33 compared to 0.31 does not make a smidgen of difference to US tourists Think again as to why they are no longer eager to vacation in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Minister might see that if he doesn't perform he can kiss his very lucrative ministerial position good bye.Now that we are in what is pretending to be a democracy these guys may have realised that with talented people like Thanathorn around they might have to actually perform,so rather than a key strategy it might be more like he will try anything and everything type of strategy.

mikebell Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Why not take of the long-stay ex-pats? They will bring in tourists. Since I moved here, I reckon visits from friends/relatives/ex-colleagues total at least thirty. Make Thailand more user friendly to pensioners and they will pull in the punters.

If they want westerners back sorting out their ridiculous visa system should be top priority. Just look at the hoops they put travelers through just for a simple tourist visa of any significant length. Bloody nightmare I can imagine a few scenarios, "I've got a gap between Job contracts, where will I go for a few months, Thailand?" A. Sorry your not working can't give you a visa, your not working, no proof of earnings on this month statement....sorry you have wasted the money on your flights... or "Just decided to do a tour of SE Asia, can I have a METV from London" No you can't do that , you have only av £4400 shown in your bank account for six months ( you need 5000), you should have prepared for the application 5 months before you thought about coming here. It doesn't mater that you have £80000. In your investment ( making a return) account and can access it in a couple of days, don't want any of that.... perfectly set up really.... Existing customers only or TV readers only, wouldn't want anyone just to decide to come here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickstav Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 So, how do they plan on incorporating medical marijuana into the tourist industry? Would the massage/ganga centers be able to bypass the need for a doctor's prescription? Would medical marijuana prescriptions from other countries be accepted?

I agree and there is a veritable gold mine ideas and good suggestions here on this forum if they can get over their fear or aversion of criticism.My older brother taught me the even criticism given negatively (which was often his style of delivery) can contain valuable information. Implementing good ideas and policy in government is a tough business and quite often a thankless task,but first one needs to come up with such ideas and policies which is the real test of a politician's skill.
