Selatan Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Thailand should cut its dependence on tourism by at least 50%, or at least lower its dependence on inbound tourism. There were reports from Genting Highlands (one of the top tourist destination of Malaysia, one hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur) that many local Malaysians were queuing to gamble at the casino tables. Players at each table were reduced by half because of social distancing rules. Edited August 4, 2020 by Selatan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those running a business sure are not happy as the economy is in bits. Well that's one way to get everyone on one side. Slag retirees while concurrently whinging about poor business people. Business always has an inherent risk. Retirement? Less so. Apples n oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyHarry55 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) No surprise with those results I guess most TV members are over 65 and on a pension and not reliant on the economy for an income. In fact they probably be happy if the Baht tanked so they are better off but isn't that a little bit selfish?

Naturesway Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Just like in everything in the world including religions, first of of the people have to believe in the instructions to be able to follow it, otherwise the plan can’t be applied and successfully completed on them. Similar thing is happening now about this pandemic. That’s isn’t relevant what interests and reasons are behind all of this, but to wake up and realize the situation that you ppl are completely trapped and fooled again. The funny thing is people are bearing these lot of lies going around and these innocent victims will let to complete their evil plan by getting the mandatory vaccines which will be one of the biggest money grabbing in human history once again and the same time they can seemlesly inject those substances to the people which can reduce the overpopulation in the future and causing variety of health issues in the people, so their plan will be very successful alongside the profit they make for the pharma will be unmatched at it’s peak.

ThailandRyan Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 If not desperate then I don't know what they are. At the Pullman Phuket Resort and its empty. Gal at the desk said that the best they did so far since Covid hit was on the holiday last week,, and they were 40% booked. Tripping over there feet now to serve us. Its nice to be only one of a few guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Thailand right now for personal reasons, mainly deserted beaches. However, I know a lot of people that need the money and I think they should reopen. I don't personally believe that covid is any worse than SARS or H1N1 which we were cognizant of, but not hysterical. Furthermore, I think that once covid dies down in the rest of the world the people left in Thailand will not have a proper immune response when they do reopen and a vaccine may or may not be reliable. I think most Thais have a proper immune response by now. Maybe trained by yearly seasonal flu, and still improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 One of the TVF facebook polls. They always seem to be skewed because the people that refuse to use facebook tend to have more contrarian views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 All this closure does, BTW, is to delay the inevitable at a very high economic cost. That time bought should be used to optimize the test & tracing network. I haven't noticed anything like that happening, wasted time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
