Tourism no longer second best

Recommended Posts

Once the runner up behind exports, tourism is now being hailed as the “key engine supporting Thailand’s economic recovery.”

An article in the Bangkok Post cites a report by Siam Commercial Bank,  upgrading its forecast for foreign tourist arrivals to 7.4 million this year. Although this represents an increase of 1.7 million, it still falls far shor of the 40 million who visited in 2019.

Perhaps these are the new mega-rich tourists that the government has been targeting and who will spend more than all the lost 11 million or so Chinese put together. 🤣 🤣

yeah, another fairly tale by Grimm brothers

Anyone have a reasonable idea why the Thai government does not like those of us who are long time residents here using a so called retirement visa?
