Btw , tim pronounces assean but isn’t it a sean?
Very important 😅
Thai government forget that during covid a lot of people have lost their jobs.
TIM – I like the subliminal message on your wall behind you – 2 paddles.
I used to pretend to say to my students, … with a French accent … "Pas d'lieu ron canu"
which of course was meant to say …. Paddle Your Own Canoe.
… you have done that admirably since starting up TNT.
Thanks for the regular English news updates.
I've noticed that while the number of Western tourists has decreased in recent years, the number of Asian tourists, particularly Chinese tourists, has increased dramatically as the Chinese economy continues to grow and more wealthy Chinese can afford to travel abroad. As a result of China's COVID policy, Chinese tourists have vanished from Thailand's tourism market since the outbreak began.
A momentous day for Thailand cricket as their women's team picked up probably their greatest win by defeating the mighty Pakistan in the T20 Asia Cup in Sylhet. I knew this was on the cards as the Thais put up a great show against the Pakistanis in Sydney in the T20 World Cup back in March 2020 where the match was called off due to rain. I look forward to their next matches against Malaysia & India.
Not to long taxi companies and drivers will be buying cheap hotels and resorts,then they cut the taxi charges,have seen it before,but in another cuntry with different group of organised people,regards.
BREAKING NEWS: Multiple deaths at a Thai pre-school reported on the BBC website and Thai media. Horrific.
Funny that you cannot get an answer when you google for "Flood safe provinces" in Thailand or better still " Thai Flood safe provinces with clean air" ??
All Google n MSN search do is to flood you with an ever increasing list of places that are flooded !!
Is the situation so bad that no province can be classified under the above categories which are supposed to be taken for granted in many places around the world, or even in ASEAN … ??
How can Thailand even think of attracting people over to stay if it cannot even come up with a list of provinces that are flood safe and with clean air !!
Hookers and shopping malls…….welcome to thailand
Hi, Tim first of all glad you are back in the saddle. I gather the only way to work out the number of tourists coming in/ out is either sitting at a Thai airport or using a radar tracker.
Unfortunately, it is grim as you have shown us. IMHO days of budget " Now everyone can fly" are well and truly over. The world has changed for the worse.
Redundancies/ sackings included are baggage handlers, front office, cabin crew, mechanics, pilots, etc
The price of jet fuel and servicing aircraft and the jack-in-the-box INFLATION has decimated long-haul tourism.
So sad and very foreboding days ahead.
😟😟
Taxi situation………yada yada yada yada
Ex military running thailand……
Floods in thailand….yada yada yada yada
Buy a radio, and wear a mask. Robots.
Thank you Tim. Great presentation per usual.
Trust me we're coming, unfortunately it will be a bit of a wait for us. Planning it now but family getting in the way
I just flew out of there after 3 weeks of vacation.
It seems it the price of flights that is coursing less people to come to Thailand
If anyone believes that Puket drivers aka thugs promises I have land to sell just see at low tide😂
Anyone would think there is a war on..???
Awesome report!
This is the best thai news source. I don’t listen to the Thaiger anymore.
Will you PLEASE say the word "SCHEDULE" correctly? It makes me GRIND my teeth!😬 I will give you a quick educational LESSON, it's pronounced, "ske—jool"😫🤯
I just heard that Jet left The Thaiger ? Anyone has more info ?
The dearth of tourists is a function of the world economy, which is circling the drain, and the Ukraine war. Here's hoping the high season is not too disappointing.
Covid-19 cover-up is everywhere in Thailand.
Thanks Tim. Always good seeing you.
Thanks for your work ! Enjoy and stay dry …
Take a look at how poorly Jetstar is doing if you want to see how not to run an airline. Little Alan is an appalling CEO.
Praxiteles probably just slept through his alarm.
Thanks as always Tim
Great stuff Tim, your work has been missed…the other lot are proving to be rather inept and trying way too hard
One of the reasons is the high flight prices
Airline prices is killing travel they could destroy most tourist dependent area's also the airlines themselves
The beaches have never looked better because they have had some time to recover from over use.
Energy prices will skyrocket this autumn/winter. The fantasy numbers Thai tourist department is operating with is again just dreamland wishfull thinking. And the artificially strong Baht does not help either, only the Thai Elites who want cheaper European luxury goods and high end cars.
Excellent…thank you for the great content and opinion
Thumbs Up 👍
Hello Tim, just wanted to say I enjoy the format here much better than the other channel you were on, I found it to long winded and usually changed to something else quite quickly, nice job on TNT thanks
good pick up on the poor standards of the Bangkok Post article on Prawit and Prayut, a non-story, poor editing
Thanks for the heads up on Myanmar and ASEAN and the Taxi scams Tim. TNT is doing a bang up job sir.
Tim you must consider rebranding your news channel. Your earlier Thaiger was quite catchy, appealing, distinct and easy to remember whereas TNT looks akin to any other news channel.
If you can. Exactly if you can. The economy is in a shit bowl and not getting better.
