And, what's more: you won't be able anymore to read the news here on Thaivisa since everything will not be functioning anymore.


What a disaster! They should invest billions of dollars immediately and never mind that Thaivisa is hosted in Singapore.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand deputy governor :
number of tourists coming to Thailand will be in the range of 14.5 to 15 million, bringing in 550 billion baht in revenue.


The Ministry of Tourism and Sports :
the estimated income expected to be generated from tourism this year is about 272 billion THB.


Do they work for the same country?

The GDP of Thailand is roughly 10.000 billion baht. If tourism accounts for 6% of GDP, that makes its size about 600 billion baht.

It's a surprisingly short penalty. My guess is that he has also provided useful information about other people involved and cut a deal.
Are you mad? 1.5 months for talking crap without acting on it is a rough sentence. The guy was obviously drunk and stoned on something at the time which the video clearly shows. In the countries where the majority of us come from the police would lock you up overnight to sleep it off, put you in front of a magistrate the next day and let you go with a fine! He wasn't an illegal immigrant, just a bit foolish!

As far as I know he was also standing by and watching while his friends torched the channel 3 building.
