Robin Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Showing that their intention is not to allow any dirty, diseased Farang into Thailand, something that some Thais have wanted to do for years. Thailand is open for visitors again; just set impossible entry conditions. It is not Thailand's fault if the visitors want to be difficult and do not accept these conditions. As usual, blame the rest of the world for Thailand's misfortune. it is only in a crisis that the true quality of leadership is seen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlandtday Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 A smart approach would be to offer premium and I mean premium luxury hotels located on beachfront property at a highly subsidized rate instead the approach is to offer crappy accommodation at ridiculously inflated prices.

Jack Hna Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Thailand got bigger issues to contend with when this silly episode ends. Thais will have forgotten how to do their jobs. You cannot expect this nation to just pick up where they left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupermarineS6B Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) I've just done fourteen days in the Novotel at the airport in Taiwan...... let me tell you how <deleted> that is. The food was garbage day in day out with a set menu for the company, wash your own grinders everyday, no laundry, no drink unless you want to pay FOUR times the price of a beer, and thank F%^& i had a computer to communicate with, lots of movies and a very unhealthy feeling overall...... Not a good experience.... As for me paying for that pleasure ? Forget it....... Stupidity beyond even the loons in the TAT......

Pracha Duang Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) On 9/21/2020 at 11:26 AM, Rookiescot said: OK so the Thai economy is hurting because of the lack of tourists. Heres an idea. Many of us expats are sitting with 800k in the bank we never touch. Why dont they drop the requirement to 400k and encourage us to spend the difference. That would defeat the entire purpose of the 800k baht which is to help alcoholic retirees budget for a rainy day so that Thailand doesn't end up having to foot the bill for the hundreds of thousands of livers that will inevitably expire. Personally, I think it should be at least 3 milly given that expat alcohol abuse is about to skyrocket due to the global economy being on the brink of collapse ( 2021 will collapse ). Pensions funds, which many retirees survive on, will be the first things to go. I kid you not, if you are an expat or retiree surviving on a government pension, you are about six months away from losing your monthly income. Jay Powell is not going to be able to print the world out of this mess. QE isn't going to work this time. Interest rates can't be lowered. Basically we're looking at the biggest worldwide economic collapse in human history as we come to the end of an 80 year economic super cycle. Sadly, most don't even realize what is happening. Most pension funds around the world are composed of BIG TECH stocks like Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Amazon etc... ( hence why the FED is pumping the heck out of them ). Big Tech bubble is a few months shy from popping. What happens to pensions funds when it does? BYE BYE pensions and hello alcohol. Thailand is about to have a real mess on its hands and will be very glad it enforced the 800,000 baht rule.

aussiexpat Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Instead of Thai media taking aim at the plan to make 14 days quarantine fun, they should be aggressively asking why the government would destroy Thailand economically for 59 deaths from 69 million population. That is 0.000085% deaths to shut down a country reliant on tourism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with your sentiment that killing the tourism industry is overkill, it can of course be argued that the deaths could be significantly greater than 59 if Thailand were not locked down. I disagree of course and suspect Covid-19 swept through Thailand early on in Nov / Dec / Jan / Feb and due to a lack of efficient central reporting the numbers were hardly noticed until the EU panicked and locked down by which time Thailand had already been exposed. No proof and it can never be argue that lockdown was effective or not - its completely intangible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear, I'm not saying Thailand should not have locked down, every country had to. But now that Covid is controlled in certain places, they should be able to travel between with a Covid test on departure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
