I see they have been using their abacus again. Wish they calculated my bank account deposits. 

Who do they think their fooling.

What do you expect . . . from the Land of $miles?

Wow 40 million in just 92 flights, and just short of a thousand arriving. Thank god it was only the surat thani governor giving this propaganda out. If it was a TAT spokesman it would have been doubled that.

[BIGGLES]

Resounding "success!"

No drama, and all is well with world then.

So they all stayed for an average of a week and spent over 40,000 baht.

Mighty pricy deck chairs.

... should gain steam in the last quarter as it has reported bookings of over 9,000 room nights from 860 travellers until December 9.

"...  should gain steam"?

That's roughly the same number of bookings as last month, but spread over three or four months instead of one.

I'm not sure how that's gaining steam ...

Any reports from the lokal TukTuk Mafia, have they managed to make some decent scamming so far?

What about the costs ? a good management should make the differences and see if the millions invested in marketings, set up to the health requirements , empty planes could make the operators lose even more moneys, and how many unemployments went back to charities lines since majority by far of Sha + htls have barely 5% occupation when they would need 30% to cover costs of operation.  That survey not available since deep shame

918 tourists coming in on 92 flights? I bet the airlines are making a mint at 10 passengers per flight. Why do these types of articles always quote “room nights”? Is that industry standard or gaslighting? Do they really think we can’t do the math? People are staying an average of 6.5 nights and spending $1,300 USD. None of these numbers are impressive, and you can easily argue they are abysmal. You can’t make this stuff up.

You know who will end up paying the lost revenue from passengers.

Doesn't change my life one little bit. I'd be amazed if it made a difference to you apart from permitting a hearty 'harrumph' during your morning coffee.

Have an amazing afternoon.
