Popular Post Aussie Col Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 They need farangs tourists more than the need Chinese tourists as Farangs spent money here unlike the Chinese. The 2 week quarantine in Bangkok is the biggest obstacle to tourists returning. If Farangs who are married to Thais want to come back let them self ioslate in their own homes. At least that would be a start. If Vietnam and or the Philippines opens up before Thailand, Thailand is well and truly up the creek without a paddle 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear to be August now, or is she referring to next year??? I believe they have to wait for quarterly occupancy stats ...so June stats would be part of the April, May , June block , and should be available ... but the , July , August and September quarter is yet to finish ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AndresSP Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 They really need to stop trying to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic with this whole domestic tourism rhetoric - you cannot create something out of nothing. What they need is to immediately start working on changing public opinion on the dangers of COVID, "dirty farangs" and towards the inevitable reopening in Q4. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BestB Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 In other words they do not know what to do , have no plan or any ideas. somehow hoping domestic tourism will pick up without realising 10 million out of job.

It's becoming more apparent especially in the cities that were flooded with Chinese tours, that the way forward is not tourism. Locals are enjoyng their lives in their home cities. Tourism n the future must be severely limited, so it does not become a visible part of life at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dialemco Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 What a lot of nonsense. There is unlikely to be any further tourism well into next year so better be honest.

It's not them that need the "gofundme" Dec 2019, Thai national debt to GDP was about 36% and is predicted to rise to 46% by the end of the year. The UK national debt has for the first time just topped 100% of GDP, well above the IMF benchmark of 77% which is seen as leading to economic slowdown. Thailand may have caught a cold but symptoms are quite mild compared to some other countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon6966 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Like what a surprise You keep the border closed While only 58 old people died most infected people just like flu has recovered So logically. I'd say you gave a different name to basically flu And destroyed a the economy You have lived with flu and other viruses So learn to ajast a move on Or tourist industry and all export businesses will be completely out Thailand will go back 40 years backwards My opinion... Anybody thinks otherwise think what ever you want I'm. Tierd of arguing about it By the way flu has vaccine It don't stop people from being infected or die from it...
