Just savour the fact that there are no Chinese by the bus load at the moment.  But, by Christmas they will be back...maybe in lower overall numbers but still by the bus load!  

I for one will be the first to welcome our Glorious Mama Cup Overlords...  do not make eye contact!

And why wouldn't they? Occupancy rates for hotels would be sitting very close to ZERO if they went down this path. By all means try to attract high end tourists but common sense suggests this should not be the priority as history shows budget travel is what has allowed Thailand's travel and tourist industries to grow into what we see today and is what has provided employment to probably millions.

I do believe, however, that it has grown and morphed into an ugly, unsustainable monster that needs to be reeled in but not to the detriment and exclusion of the sector that provides and has invested in most of the jobs.
