Phiphat added that he prefers professionals from the Philippines because of their excellent command of English, an important skill in accommodating Thailand’s foreign tourists and guests.

Great plan, foreigners take care of foreigners.

Imagine a tourist asking a Filipino what's the best Thai food to try and he/she answers: Adobo/Balut/Sinigang

Couldn't hurt it in my experience.

I suspect that they will get  more takers if they publicly stamp down on the illegal schemes where they tell Filipina girls they are being  hired to work in hotels  and restaurants and then take their passports and force  them into sex work after they arrive.

Plenty of Filipino singers doing ok in Thailand,  I'm sure bring some to hotels will be fine, their English is much better. Show me the money!

Well, if you look at the qualifications you need as a foreigner for a long term visa including a working permit... Highly skilled, earn at least 80k dollars, work for a 150m dollar company. Or invest 1m dollars.

If there are positions to be filled, and not enough Thais want to participate, then fill them. 

The problem becomes conservative Nationalists who typically champion free market principles, like this one, will eventually decry the "foreign invasion" on television chat shows and social media, amplified to average Thais who have no connection to, interest in or knowledge of the industry and thus, didn't realize they should be outraged about the massive, national crisis.

That's how uninformed Make the Country Great again flag waving 'patriots' are created. 

Politicians with an internet connection see an easy opportunity to enhance their standing and personal gain among the commoners.  Instead of setting the record straight and informing the constituency (aka: leadership), they cowardly echo the irrational outrage for popularity, masquerading as "being in touch with the commoners on kitchen table issues they're concerned about".  Except it's not that and they know it, but ride the train and get while the gettin's good.  If the commoners wind up losing the plot and burn down some buildings and some of them die in the process, wave the flag and make them heroic martyrs in the patriotic fight for freedumb.

Seeing Russian deminomdaines outside a dedicated club in Pattaya blew me away! Shows how powerful their Mafia must be! 

Encountered a thug in a Sewen there once, he was blocking an aisle just to be an Alpha wanker, but without a doubt, he had the eyes of a psycho killer, the sort you see in those Brazillian prison documentaries, it made my blood run cold. I just walked the long way round. Let him have his little thug hard-on
