TAT hit on the idea of getting single people to come in and go to selected temples on river tours to pray to find the right marriage partner. 

 

The best temples would be selected that have proven in the past to achieve the finest results.

Thailand has always depended on their young women to bring in the tourists.  no need to look much farther than the local beer bar or Walking Street! 

 

The idea of bringing in tourists to pray at the local temple is hilarious!!

A novel idea for them might be to stop with the hair brained ideas for attracting tourists and concentrate on tapping the spending power of the foreigners already in the kingdom.

 

Perhaps stopping the 800k baht and 400k baht in the bank nonsense for retirement and marriage visas etc lifting relaxing all the other restrictions in place ..........with a stay at will as long as you like yearly renewable visa for all and please keep spending we value your custom approach...... instead of the tiresome awkward bar steward  we are doing you a favour attitude with needless mountains of paperwork and hoops to jump through.

Yes many retired men in the UK have an income below the one required but would easily be able to live well in Thailand and support a partner. The savings can be used to build a house which is very cheap outside the tourist traps providing local employment rather than sitting doing nothing in a bank. Small people stimulate the economy not the wealthy. It was the volume of ordinary tourists that stimulated the Thai hospitality industry not the few wealthy ones

OMG are they for real , what do they think all the beer bars/gogo bars are for . There are web sites already for those looking for dates (lol) or relationships so i doubt there is anything TAT could do to increase tourism for the so called lonely people .

This idea is for righteous men not you...lol

[teacherclaire]

They are also collaborating with Thai Airways on "Faith Tours".

 

In this idea foreigners will pray for merit while being flown ABOVE temples well known for supplying bounteous amounts of that commodity. 

 

Is it already April?

They only have to call them Gogo temple bars that's it! All these sexy gurls waiting for the handsome guys from their quarantine hotels. That's it!!

Why not be honest for a change, and promote bars and bar girls?

 

Promote it as TIT for TAT.

And rather than love, why not be honest and just call it lust !!

Gawd!!!!!!!!!! its prostitution given a different  name.

How in the world could you ever dream this up?

 

Evidence these folks have no clue how real life works.

This must be the same temple in Nakon Nayok where the monk swirls his hand around in the water and predicts the winning lottery numbers, while there are 100 lottery ticket vendors set up inside the temple grounds?

i disagree. It says “find the right marriage partner”

I have seen many foreigners come to Thailand and marry prostitutes, buy her a house, take over the role as father to her kids, spend money trying to help out the extended family or entire village, get overcharged on sinsot etc. and then end up losing the lot and being very bitter about the situation. 

 

Well...in the eyes of TAT and most of Thai men these prostitutes ARE the right marriage partners for us foreigners. The more the Thai girls squeezes the stupid husband, the more Dollar / EURO / Yen stays in Thai economy- steady influx of money for over 35 years already. Who cares if at the end he is "up losing the lot and being very bitter about the situation"?

Obviously the wrong marriage partner. Finding a wife in a hooker bar would be like buying a second hand car from a hire car company, thrashed by hundreds of people with worn out parts and dodgy wiring and too many miles on the clock.

 

The brand new shiny "cars" with zero "mileage",  they keep them for themselves. Thai upper-class men find them in "showrooms" in HiSo-areas in Bangkok. Foreigners are not too welcome there. Better take them to seedy beer-bars in Pattaya.

More evidence that most bars have shut down. I wonder what TAT will charge for love by the hour ????

Someone has been watching too much porn. By the minute would be more accurate.

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said " The expense is abominable, the position ridiculous, and the pleasure fleeting".

But that's how they usually look without Make up and wigs. You tell me how people can fall in love with such LB. I'm not making fun of them, there are some nice guys around.

usually the ones who can speak English.
