Nice little tourist summary :

2003 ( Sars ) - 10.08
2004 ( Tsunami ) - 11.74
2009 ( Recession, Riots ) - 14.15
2010 ( Riots, Political Instability ) - 15.94
2011 ( Major Flooding ) - 19.23
2014 ( Demonstrations, Military Coup ) - 24.81
2015 - 29.88

50% of the 15m growth between 2009 and 2015 was Chinese tourists. Headline numbers will always grow as the Chinese travel more but the question has to be whether that is necessarily a good thing for Thailand given the demands on the infrastructure versus the amount the spend and how/where it is spent. They are certainly not growing the quality end of the market, but chasing the rush to the bottom with volume in my opinion

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Prem is the new King? He is a cunt, how has he lived so long?

he is NOT the king,he is the Regent pro tempore



Chinese tourism accounts for about 28% of total.
BUT at least here in Phuket that does not stop the thai's building more and more 4- 5 star resorts,( which the Chinese do NOT stay at) Either the thai's, building these resorts, know something that we the common people dont or they really are like the Khmers and merely think HUGE and believe the golden egg will never go away

so far...it hasn't
