Ministry of Tourism survey shows tourists enjoy Thailand in 2021

[Coss]

Many expats might get complacent with all that Thailand has to offer, and be cynical about whether it’s worth the risk and complexity of coming to Thailand during the Covid-19 pandemic. But a survey conducted by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports revealed that foreign tourists have an overall positive view of travelling in Thailand. In fact, the average ratings on 14 key factors have increased from a similar survey last year, according to the survey released on Christmas Eve...

The 3 areas Thailand scored highest in the survey were:

91.4% – Thai people. Tourists love how welcoming, helpful, and friendly the people of Thailand treated them.

90.8% – Health care services. International travellers found Thailand’s healthcare options affordable and decent.

90.3% – Accommodation services. Hotels were deemed to be reasonably priced, hospitable, and convenient. Tourists said the SHA and SHA+ standards were good too.

The bottom 3 categories were:

The Thailand Tourism Directory website – Many tourists had never heard of the website yet.

Eco-tourism – Tourists found that eco-tourism places had the dreaded dual pricing for locals and foreigners plus issues with toilets.

Sea/Beach attractions – Though Thailand is known for its beaches, Covid-19 has closed many of them, and tourists complained about uncleanliness and dirty bathrooms on the beaches that were open.

“which is great if you have health insurance, and dual pricing does apply.Hospital extend inpatient stay over required to get more money from insurance”

90.3% – Accommodation services. Hotels were deemed to be reasonably priced, hospitable, and convenient. Tourists said the SHA and SHA+ standards were good too

”See item1, how much and to whom are payments made to get on the SHA+ list”

Typical end of year “Let’s sl ourselves on the back” awards by a government department who are actually pretty useless. It they were realistic the bottom 3 would include “No nightlife, restricted hours for restaurants”, “Vacating under a Military Junta” and “Double Pricing at Tourist attractions to Fleece the Farang” but they won’t let the truth get in the way of a good old self congratulatory Bullshit.
