Stopping the seasoning after ret.ext. stamped vould help a bit ,as 400K can come back in the spending circuit who are now frozen for 3 month's....and those foreigners are here to spend already ....but the banks wont like that ????

Chairat added that some operators are starting to sell their establishments, such as hotels, resorts, restaurants and gift shops to investors who wish to turn them into other business.

Chineese will buy them for a very small amount,

like they do in many country all over the world...

 

The new master (of the world/Thailand) will never stop grow up...

I hope that the tourism related business that uses the ugly and racist double pricing policies will fall and shut down first for good...

There is more than double pricing its multi pricing. can be easy 10x price for foreigners or even 100% pricing as can see from above attachments. In western country's this kind matter calls racism but what they call it is in Thailand? Maybe hospitality?

No worries. Tourism is only 9% of the Thai economy. Right? Right? 

Evidently it varies, but who knows what for 2020!!

 

Tourism in Thailand - Wikipedia

Tourism is an economic contributor to the Kingdom of Thailand. Estimates of tourism revenue directly contributing to the GDP of 12 trillion baht range from one trillion baht (2013) 2.53 trillion baht (2016), the equivalent of 9% to 17.7% of GDP.

Went down to Sala Dang and Patpong last night 7PM to see what was open.  Mexican Taco place was open  but next door  where KFC is used to have a Subway Shop, Chinese Restaurant and Drug Store all are gone. Some Go-go's were open with some hot girls inside but most were closed and the street that had all the vendors selling stuff in the middle of it was empty.

That would be a dream come true. I am so enjoying the peace now that all of those exhaust spewing buses and annoying flag toting tour groups have vanished.

It kind of feels like 1990s again.

You must be wrong, we have seen the info about the big crackdowns on cars puffing out fumes......

Just a couple of points to clarify. How bad is the Pandemic? Well not as bad as envisioned back in January, but that was assuming that no control measures were taken. Half a million dead, but the pandemic may not have even peaked yet - and still 5 and half months to go. Deaths globally have been fairly consistent the last month, about 5,000 a day.  By the end of the year probably one million or slightly more. 

Those ridiculous claims about previous pandemics cannot go unanswered The Black death globally didn't kill 50% of the world population - only in some European countries. Best estimates are about 30% globally. And Spanish flu - a vast exaggeration - it killed about 3% of the worlds population; in some places only about 0.5%. Remember those Pandemics stretched over a number of years - let us see what the position is at the end of 2022 for comparison.

 

Oh, and the 'new'  industry that will replace tourism? Well, around Udon it looks like rice - i reckon about 25% more has been planted this year. Two factors - government subsidies and Isaan people going back home as jobless and need to be fed.
