Or, to put it another way.......

 

They think that nearly 10% of British citizens will choose Thailand as a holiday destination.

Who comes up with this rubbish?

Or a Thai Military Academy.

Like the Thai lady I bumped into the other day who told me she lives in the UK now.

'Where' I asked.

'Sydney'    

[Road Warrior]

think got to many "norts " may be just 1 million if lucky 

[elgenon]

I know three people in America that want to go. Does that equal 6 million in Thai? Just wondering.

 

If 6 million from UK and 6 million from America Thailand won't need to bend over for China.

There is no bright future for tourisms in or out of Europe in the near future...let alone a long-haul flight to a destination as Thailand. My job in tourism in Europe been canceled for now more than a year and I lost 2 m baht on cash salary of this and will continue as this until the end of May (at the earliest). Tis is the reality from a person working in this environment. So 6 m for Thailand during 2021 ? Just dream on...

Amazing absolutely amazing, where on earth do they find these clowns?

6 million my a++e, nobody in the UK got any money to spend flying to Thailand.

 

[lumply]

Your assertion that nobody in the UK has sufficient funds to fly to Thailand is wide of the mark. Where precisely is your evidence of this stupid comment?

[chilly07]

Absolute rubbish! Not only do 6m UK residents NOT want to visit Thailand but Thailand doesn't even have a viable vaccination policy or plan. Why would vaccinated holiday makers think of visiting an unvaccinated destination with quarantine still applying because vaccination just reduces the risk of serious illness. It does nothing to prevent superspreading. 14 days on arrival and 14 days on return!

.... How the hell do they arrive at a figure of 6 million Brits holidaying in Thailand this year? Please can I have some of what these clowns have been smoking?

The 6 million number sounds kind of nefarious....you know.. 

[JustAnotherHun]

6 Million British? Bah!

There are also hundreds of millions Germans desperatley waiting to book a flight to the promised land. Good times to come for Thailand's tourism industry...in a month or two. Or maybe three.

I think you are right to be a tad skeptical possum.

 

I've looked carefully at the figures and I also disagree with 6 million. I think approximately, 5,712, 069.

[Boedog]

How on Earth did these idiots making these statements even make it through school, you can't be that stupid they just cant help themselves, l have never known of another country that can keep fabricating numbers and figures and in reality be consistently 90%, 95% wrong will they ever learn, NO welcome to Thailand the land of <deleted> lies and corruption 

[sanookbilly]

Thailand won't get 6 million brits in the next 10 years!  

[Phuket Pete]

Just remember, anyone entering Thai airspace is counted as a visitor !

You and a guest will fly to beautiful Thailand for two sun kissed weeks, enjoying the views, the sun (from your balcony), and tropical breezes (if you open your window), all while never having to leave the comfort of your hotel room.
 

All this can be yours if the price is right.

And when this is finished you can fly back to 2 weeks quarantine in UK... 555555

Based on this on the survey results, Siripakorn Cheawsamoot, TAT deputy governor for Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas said that 9  percent of the British public, or approximately 6 million people, are considering travelling to Thailand in 2021.

Siripakorn also said he think there will be 1 million Martians who will spend their holiday on planet Earth.

Actually it's 10 days if flying direct from Thailand. Still a quarantine but at least it's slightly shorter.

As I've pointed out many times, it's sheer lunacy here.

You have to be dropped on your head to go for a "vacation" to Thailand.  It's more than just what you have to go through to travel.  

I'm not blaming Thailand for travel restrictions either - it is what it is.  

But to give out these numbers, these guys are purely nuts.

Yes and it's wildly popular.  I've counted over a million brits here so far! 

Of course I"ve not taken my medication for a while.

You are wrong, I did, and I know plenty more who do not have a large enough income to live in Thailand but save up and travel at least once a year for the pleasure often have wives or girlfriends they support. They are not "Tourists", often Retired they travel between homes and do not do the tourist bit. They spend money contributing to the local economy rather than the tourist economy. UK Pension is £170 pw plus housing benefits. Retirees are allowed a 3 month visa and they spend that £170 pw in Thailand. 100 retirees spending £170 pw for 3 months is £17,000 pw which is  £204,000 directly to the Thai Economy imagine how much a thousand such people would contribute to the local economy over 9 months (over 6 million pounds or 259,668,200 baht per year). My income is larger because I have a private pension as well. 1 million such people is not a large number and is probably true
