General Reports

[QUOTE=ChristianG;2450915]Well, I'm falling in this age category too![/QUOTE]My apologies I left you out. Come to think of it Axiata falls into the under 40 age group as well.

[QUOTE=Pimpampoumpipo;2450925]Perfect for Full Moon Party at Koh Phangan.[/QUOTE]Wasn't that the province that said if a tourist doesn't wear a face mask they will be punished by having to do push ups!

[QUOTE=MichaelSamuel;2450927]Doesn't exactly jive with the quality over quantity idea. That age group generally has the least amount of disposable income [/QUOTE]TIT.

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2450901]Thailand has announced they will concentrate on Generation Y aged 23-40 for foreign tourism. Looks like MP and Uncle V will have Thailand to themselves as they are the only ISG members I have met who fall in this age category.[/QUOTE]Where did you see this? Curious. I'm looking for it and cannot find it. I fall into that category and am heading there in Jan but would be nice to have a place to see these updates.

I haven't heard from our favorite Uncle in a while. Hope he's doing well. I miss reading about his adventures.

Beach bums, back packers? Families and women are where the money is as they shop. Men just buy beer and broads. I can't see mothers going there if their kids are to risk Covid19. Younger each bums maybe but they are not renowned big spenders.

I miss reading about his adventures.[/QUOTE]If you look around the tourist area in Pattaya imo the average age is well over 60 for Farang, or at least these guys look well over 60 to me. Guys in beer bars looking for cheap beer and cheap girls are the oldest group. The youngest group would easily be the Walking Street gogo bars with most guys being under 30 at gogo bars like Palace. Mainly younger Asian men and older Farang guys. This is the general makeup that I see. Same for the FKK clubs in Germany. Younger Asian guys and older Caucasian guys. The Indian gangs hanging out at the Soapies and along Beach Road in Pattaya are also young.

Uncle V is stuck in Phnom Penh during COVID. Lucky him because the bars have reopened and the girls are starting to return.

I thought the Thais wanted to attract the group that stays in nice hotels and spend money. Not the young backpack crowd renting 4000 baht apartments and eating 30 baht noodles in Chiang Mai. They want the middle class segment versus the crowd that brags they can survive of 18 k baht a month.

Propositioning females on social media is punishable, so I guess asking a girl "short time how much?" can lead to our arrest now? Nuts. If you've piss off the wrong chick.

On the working side of that 40 mark and rapidly approaching the 50 mark)).

I don't get it. I think 30-50 would be a better demographic for people with disposable income that aren't too skinflint.

I was there in the 60's and recently only go to China 4 times per year (I have been to Cambodia once last year). Oh, and I will be 80 this year but I look about 60 or so according to all my friends.

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2450901]Thailand has announced[/QUOTE]Do please furnish details of the announcement and by whom it was announced. Ministry of Tourism and Sport (MOTS)? Tourist Authority of Thailand (TAT)?

I am surprised that I overlooked this in the Bangkok Post, The Nation, Pattaya News, Pattaya Mail, The Thaiger, Khaosod English et al. Or maybe they all missed this blockbuster exclusive?

Age will not matter. Only those with "game" will be allowed in, or allowed to stay.

[QUOTE=YyzTravel;2450946]Where did you see this? [/QUOTE]

It was posted as a news story on the TV site but I didn't feel like searching through the site for the official post.

Google searched it. [URL]https://www.bangkokbiznews.com/news/detail/880398[/URL]

That leaves plenty of 28-34 yo single mothers looking for the financial generosity and "good heart" of we boomers who are already inside the country!

I bet you dollars to donuts I could walk into any GoGo or disco and steal some young guys stunner in less time that I can count to how much baby? 10? 20?

In my age group of friends, I don't know anyone who worries about the price of anything.

‪BREAKING: The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand has just extended the ban on international passenger planes landing in Thailand to June 30. This now means that the earliest foreigners can come to Thailand is in July.
