Masters of spin

Re: “Phuket gets 42,000 overseas visitors,” (BP, Oct 7).

On July 1, the TAT crowed that it expected 600,000 foreign tourists by the end of September.

On October 7, it crowed that it had netted 42,006 from July 1 through Oct 5.

That’s a shortfall of merely 557,994 warm bodies. Not much to crow about. Guess they’ll have to eat crow. But they get top marks for being masters of spin. YE OLDE PEDANT
