Popular Post webfact Posted August 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2020 Decimated tourism "still has potential to kickstart" the Thai economy, Thai media Picture: Manager Online The TAT chief in Rayong in eastern Thailand said that tourism in the province was down 90-100% in the wake of the case of the Egyptian soldier who tested positive for Covid-19. But Akkrasit Thepparit praised the Thai Prime Minister for his decisive action following the case. The "Save Rayong" campaign has seen many tourists now returning to the province's beaches though visits to the towns and cities - for events such as seminars - remain open to improvement. The TAT are targeting tour groups from the north east of the country to promote tourism in Rayong. Meanwhile in other tourism news Manager and its sources hinted that the tourism minister Pipat Ratchakitprakan is preparing for talks with the PM and the new finance ministry chief over a 100 billion baht aid package for tourism. It is felt that the sector - devastated by the pandemic - still has the potential to kick start the economy. But it needs help to steer it through the troubled waters of the present time. On the minus side, Pipat has admitted that accessing that kind of money at this time may prove "somewhat limited". Finance sources said the money was unlikely to be forthcoming as urgently as needed.

Popular Post yellowboat Posted August 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2020 TAT would be relevant if they actual said something relevant. Those who have jobs, and can work anywhere should be allowed to stay in Thailand for 90 days at a time, or they will just go the Malaysia or Vietnam, where they are treated much better. Thailand needs to stop being so delusional to think it has what its neighbor don't have. Those days are gone. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the Red Bull enterprise to help donate for a good cause... they seem to have plenty of spare cash to throw around. Or ask the government to chip a corner off the 13 tonnes of gold that's sitting somewhere, which was donated to the temples by the people, so it's only fair to give some back in times of need. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
