Don Chance Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Does anyone know if they are allowing regular flight for the STV visa or only charter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim1982 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The headline has no bearing on the article. But then, anything in Thailand has no bearing on reality. I too use the 'but but Covid' excuse for anything and everything now. Case in point: last night I took home a hooker, but when it came time to settle, I told that due to Covid I couldn't pay.. She took it well. But I digress. Thailand is doomed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tourist industry has gone. Mandatory expensive insurance policy and 14 days quarantine are more than enough to keep the tourist out. They are not going to pay this price. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somtumwrong Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Dear Junta. Please keep the borders closed. Don't let anyone in please. In the meanwhile, my Thai friends contact me if I'm interested to buy their car or house with staggering discounts ("only to you my friend"), ("I'm quite in trouble"), especially around the Don Mueang and Swampy area, where they have a lot of people working um. worked at Thai or the travel industry. I hear people leaving their houses and their loans to disappear back to the province. And no one moving in. I hear it's "REALLY" bad, although I see no such pain in the area I live (close to Sathorn.) So I was thinking, when this "high season" is gone, I will be on the buying side if I can really get that 50% discount on the car price (I wonder if that is really true or not), or the huge discount on the house. So, for me this is great from a very selfish perspective. Dear Junta, you have my vote. ❤️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat , was ruled out it will never affect c19 numbers, and now winter approaches europe and c19 goes mad it still does not play a role in statistics Were were going on a summer holiday, now were are cough freaks, unemployed, the world a crisis, printing money for the rich, and 2 sociopaths running for president of disneyland.

Thai’s are taking advantage of the 40% discount opportunities along with the 40% off (up to 900 baht) per day in restaurants. Pattaya was also apparently very busy this weekend, as was Hua Hin. I assume other areas such as Khao Yai, Chiang Mai were also busy (?) - but that is only over a long weekend. I can see periods of long weekends, government holidays, school holidays etc as trigging brief periods of high demand - other than that there will be no such thing as high season this year unless Thailand opens up to foreign tourists. Yes, I have made a few trips out and about, in the last couple months. Stayed in a really funky boutique palce in ratburi a couple weekends running. It was full of bangkok thais. I mean full. Not an empty room in the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will stay within driving distance. Which is not bad at the moment, for first time in years Thai friends are coming back to Pattaya, now that the Chinese hordes are gone. I do like the change in demographics. Cant wewr a mask for an hour long flight. What utter nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I note major car rental prices have now increased due to it now being the "high season". How can there be a high or low season price structure in this pandemic induced slump? Perhaps there is no direct relationship between hotel bookings & car rental demand. Surely domestic car rental demand cannot be so high that it is totally compensating for a complete lack of foreign visitors with tourist visas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My SIL works in a major chain as manager. According to her, yes, domestic demand is high enough. The small places might be suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
