They will probably be living it up on the Army beach in Hua Hin from there they can go on a tour of the thousands of empty condos along the coast from Cha Amm and snap up some bargains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rioD Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Comical face saving propaganda. Nobodies participating in their moronic money grab scheme and now they're trying to sell business travel as tourism. Even if 300 tourist were to actually arrive, that would make zero impact their economy and failing businesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWFM Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thai Embassy need a One-Stop get everything you need in one place to go to Thailand. Too complicated and a pain for me to bother trying ... and I can get permission to exit the Australian Penal colony that has a ban. Better currently to holiday domestically.

sandyf Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 20 hours ago, ChouDoufu said: i'd guess a lot of these tourists are retired condo buyers. compare property prices per square meter and thailand is a bargain, well worth a couple weeks of quarantine to save thousand$! (beijing inner city US$15K/square meter) May well be condo owners. My mate that lives in Hong Kong has a condo in Phuket and usually comes 3/4 times a year. He was in UK early part of year and got stuck for 5 months, couldn't get to HK or Phuket. Sound familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the Thai people go is not always a hotel as far as I know . They have been using army bases and quarantining your average Thai there as the government are paying for it .

The State Quarantine Facilities are government-run facilities (mostly on military bases as far as I know) for Thai nationals. Alternative State Quarantine means the government-approved hotels where foreigners stay (or Thais who are willing to pay for them).

The state quarantine facilities free for Thais during the first months (april\june) were on military bases. However since july\august they use big cheap hotels like the Ambassador city in Jomtiem They still use the rudimentary accomodation option on the military bases for the workers coming from Cambodia or Myanmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb0576 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Maybe coming to work for Great Wall Motors that start production early next year, so for a few weeks after quarantine they could well be tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetryxx Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 This is absolutely insane. The country that unleashed this virus on the world, ruined economies and caused untold suffering and who do you welcome with open arms? The same creeps that did all this. Sheer madness.

So far as when actual tourism occurs surely this will not be possible until at least 2012 They all caught the virus on the plane from the Thai returnees which did not get tested.
