oldhippy Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 And the explanation for the confusing GDP % is: Example. Shop buys t shirt for 100, sells it for 120. The shop contributes 20 to GDP (the added value). Wrongfully the sales price (120) is then often compared to GDP 20. Same with exports. (I used to teach macro economics) If you like semantics: tourism (or exports or.....) accounts for X% of GDP, while tourism amounts to Y% as compared to GDP. Y will be a much higher number than X.

Why, there is even decent scuba diving, and dirt bike riding, I have found some great golf courses, and jammed with some great rock bands. Oh for goodness sake, get out and have a look!!!

Yes, and those consular services put that furphy about to try and cut down on the work they have to do, so they can attend more parties in Bangkok. It's total BS to say Thailand is dangerous. Places like Harlem, Detroit, Philadelphia in the USA are far more dangerous. I've lived here for 8 years. All it takes is a bit of common sense and jai yenn to stay out of trouble.

gk10002000 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Of course many foreigners think of sex when they think of Thailand. That doesn't mean most do, and that doesn't mean people go there and actually engage in sex. Heck, I personally think more about daily wonderful foot massages, or a call in oil massage while slumbering in my hotel, then a dip in the pool, a nap, Fried rice with shrimp and tom yum kung at the Kiss Restaurant in Pattaya, later at night some German food at The Domicile, or a few other places. I go to relax not run down every available lady in town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
