Re: Record 1 million American visitors to Thailand in 2017
loved to see those stats as i would assume Mexico or somewhere in central America.Udon thani used to be the second most popular place in the world for americans to retire to
they do not get visas...... They also have airforce games with the Thai every year and that involves hundreds if not thousands more americans coming in and showing as tourists probably...
I love traveling in Burma
tourism has been on the increase since 2000 ( except after the tsunami and when they had troubles).... so which goverment?The reason Thais like to inflate the figures is plain political PR. The more western tourists come, the more acceptable the regime appears and the more difficult it is for governments back home to criticize.
and yes each time u come in ur counted as a arrival.... goes for everyone here on multiple entry visas as well ( not those of us on extensions and using re entry permits thou)
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
