Mr Supant says the latest 3,000-baht handout may not be powerful enough. "The fourth quarter will not be as bad as the second quarter," he told the Bangkok Post. "At this point," Mr Supant said, "what I can't tell is whether the fourth quarter will be better than the third one." The FTI chairman agrees with the government's plan to grant special visas to foreign tourists who plan long-stay visits in Thailand. Mr Supant said the government needs to earn revenue from foreign tourists and the fourth quarter will be the right time.
