HUGE Changes for Tourist Visa to Thailand (unlimited land border crossings, etc)
Re: HUGE Changes for Tourist Visa to Thailand (unlimited land border crossings, etc)
In the Bangkok Post story, Chinese arrivals have plunged from month to month during the latest four-month period. September and October Chinese arrivals fell in the crapper by 14% and 19% from last year.

Brilliant, I will never understand why you and Phuket Richard are so blinkered outside your comfort zone. You completely ignore all the negative stories on your own doorstep and focus on other areas negatives. You 2 should meet up for a beer, you've got so much. in common

Let's summarize the news:
Cabinet agreed in principle
...
review and offer relaxation
...
three types of visas
...
two-month pilot period
...
starting period will be determined
...
after studies

I hope you didn't book your bus for tomorrow.
And I dont book the bus, just hop on it when I'm across the border.
Still looks good to me!

What am i ignoring;
Postponement of future elections
corruption is up
food prices are up
baht is strong
Chinese tourism down, ( after the deaths of 52 of them in the boats off phuket)
millions of Burmese, & Cambodians flock to Thailand to work
new regulations regarding embassy letters
Bombings an killings continue in the south
Cars /motorcycles sales up creating more traffic
Tourism to hit 37 million this year, (maybe)
and this post, ( BTW which is very positive) for all

Re: HUGE Changes for Tourist Visa to Thailand (unlimited land border crossings, etc)
One thing that sticks in my mind was the train I took from South Thailand arriving in Bangkok.
The areas we passed thru on the way to hualampon station were appalling.
The sight of people living next to black rivers filled with the worse ever Stinking sewerage was horrible.
It really dented my opinion quite a bit. I thought Thailand had stuff like that in control.

It seems like a smart initiative, other countries like here and Vietnam should implement similar schemes.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: HUGE Changes for Tourist Visa to Thailand (unlimited land border crossings, etc)
trail;
i bet if they do place it in effect, it will remain in effect.
Wont really help much now anyway as i bet 85% ++of the tourists coming in the next 2 months already have their tickets, routes, hotels an visas.
BUT it might encourage some of them to visit a neighboring country as the can easily return to Thailand and they will get shopping discounts!!
AS to Chinese tourists, their still number one
https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/chin ... -to-phuketThe Deputy Director of the Phuket Tourism Authority of Thailand, Montri Manator, says, “Numbers of Chinese tourists visiting Phuket in tour groups have been continuing to decrease after the Phoenix sinking on July 5 this year.”
“On the other hand, Chinese tourists who are visiting Phuket by themselves, called FIT groups (Free and Independent Travellers), has not decreased. They are continuing to visit Phuket in high numbers.
“These are Chinese tourists who book their own holidays, decide which hotel to stay at, where to eat and where to visit.
“They are the second generation of Chinese tourists and are high spenders.
“Last month there are more than 120,000 Chinese tourists, which is still the number one foreign group of tourists who are visiting Phuket.”
