Als alcohol de enige zorg is en niet de zorg om de politiek in dit land, wat doet men hier dan ? Toerisme staat niet los van politiek.
Ach, je kunt in de hotelbar gewoon drinken. Daar zit geen rem op. En thuis mag je ook drinken. En is de drank op dan ga je naar een koffiebar en laat ze daar de leverancier van drank even bellen. Die wordt op de brommer gebracht. Sperrzeit of niet.....

Politiek en economie gaan hand in hand
(CNN) - Just six weeks after a government crackdown on protesters, the Tourism Authority of Thailand has announced a bold marketing plan to grow international arrivals in the Southeast Asian nation by 1 million next year.
The tourism authority says they hope to add $18.5 billion to the economy in 2011. Tourism in Thailand makes up over 6 percent of its gross domestic product and employs about one million Thais.
As CNN’s Dan Rivers wrote last week, the economy appears to be shrugging off the recent problems. Thailand is on course to chart 6 percent growth in gross domestic product this year.
Over the course of the protests, more than 80 people died and 1,500 others were injured in the unrest. Part of Thailand remains under emergency law, which empowers the military to take charge of security – an emergency rule that was extended for another three months in many parts of the country on Tuesday.
Analysts say that will likely keep tourists and investment dollars away an analyst from the Thailand Forum confirmed. An analyst for Kasikorn Bank estimates that the political unrest could shave as much as 2 percent off the country’s total economic output if the political crisis continues.

Re: Verkiezingen Thailand uitgesteld
las zojuist de aankomende toerist-nrs, steeds halfjaar, (van 1/1/ tot 30/6)-via die bekende invulkaartjes:
2009: rond de 5,5 miljoen
2010-rond de 6,6 miljoen. Goed op weg ondanks alles naar bijna 15 mln voor heel 2010. Inmiddels komen de nihon-jeen (Jappen) en de khon jeen (=sjinees) ook weer in grote getale, tijdelijk gestaakte lijndiensten gaan weer open (HgKg-express), dus wat zeuren we nu? niks achterom kijken-das niets voor Thai, vooruit allemaal.
