kamui Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 when you fly between Schengen countries, there is no immigration, no passport control! if US or Asian guys fly for example with Air France to Paris, where they stay in transit and then fly to his final destination, for example Italy, then immigration takes place in Paris, they are registered there, even they were only in transit, but they will not be registered as having entered Italy, where they stay for vacation that shows the reliability of those "tourist" statistics When flying within Europe, sometimes I have to show my passport, sometimes I don't. I guess it depends on the airport and if the customs guys are off for a coffee. That's why in Germany the count the hotel beds sold. It doesn't give the absolute numbers, since many people from neighboring countries don't stay overnight, but it give the relative number and indicates increases or deacreases in numbers. I guess GB has much more reliable tourist numbers. And for LOS it should be very easy since most travelers arrive via the two airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy and Don Muang? also at least Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai und Ko Samui have international flights with thousands of "tourists" arriving. maybe even more...

limbo Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I didn't know that there are overseas flights to Ko Samui, but I have never checked neither... Flights, to Singapore and a few locations in Malaysia, KL, possibly Penang depart/arrive from Samui and for connecting international flights in BKK, you will pass immigration on Koh Samui if that's your departure point.

limbo Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 You're mixing up Krabi and Samui, on Samui you don't get stabbed but you drown in Chaweng Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
