Massive discounts offered to lure visitors to Thailand | Print |  E-mail
Thursday, 16 July 2009


Hotels across Thailand are offering huge discounts and special deals to entice both foreign and domestic tourists to travel more during the low travel season from June to October. The usually slow season is especially sluggish this year as a result of the global economic recession, the ongoing political upheaval, and now the H1N1 flu pandemic. Hotel occupancy rate across the country has plunged 16 percent. Luxury hotels in Bangkok are the ones receiving the biggest blow, as travelers shy away from splurging on top-notch accommodation. Thai Airways International has slashed prices of its domestic flights to compete with low-cost airlines and is even offering free domestic connections to those flying into Bangkok from outside of Asia.

I have yet to seen any sort of discounting,Ive notice huge increases since less are traveling to Thailand the hotels and other related must raise prices or close their business. Sad many are not willing to pay these inflated prices and many now have filled bankrupt .Even street vendor food cost have near doubled since 2007.I found Thailand to ever offer any sort of discounting on any travel. They have cut the hand off that feeds them with their greed and scams .Many of these hotels are charging American prices and near slave labouring their work forces ,paying them $6.00_$7.00 Us dollar a day while they rake in hundreds from the weary traveler .Some 4-5 star resorts are charging 300-400 Us dollar a day for a nights stay,theirs no where Ive ever stayed that is of that worth in Thailand.International flights have near 50% increase their cost which includes baggage allowances.CAUTION THE DUTY FREE SHOPS ALSO AT AIRPORT..YOU MAY NOT EVEN BE A SMOKER but get arrested for stealing smokes a clerk placed into your bag.What has Thailand became?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Discounts is not the answer..ridding of corruption and unity is the answer and PRAYER..
