Shift from tourism

» I commend Nareerat Wiriyapong for her April 19 article, "Tourism revival in doubt again" which presented a clear-eyed, factual analysis. My only criticism is that an earnest revival is but probably impossible. As roughly 60% of Thailand's tourists came from the West, Thailand can expect little recovery in Western tourists, because of the rise of unemployment, fear of health safety as well as mounting bankruptcies. Even more, few Western tourists are likely to be interested in travelling in an era of face mask wearing, social distancing, field hospitals, ever-changing policies and draconian penalties related to Covid-19 related measures as well as unpredictable lockdown.

Great example

» On Friday, Thairath hosted a debate on today's hottest topic: the nationwide student protests demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, among other things. Having watched the US presidential debates and the Thairath debate, I can confidently say that I learned a lot more from the Thai debate than either of the US debates.
