สมัยก่อนนั้น เหมืองแร่ดีบุกนับเป็นหนึ่งในกิจกรรมทางเศรษฐกิจที่สำคัญของภูเก็ต
โดยกว่าครึ่งของพื้นที่ทั้งหมดนั้นเป็นการทำเหมืองแร่ดีบุก

และการที่อุตสาหกรรมนี้ต้องการแรงงานอย่างมาก จึงมีชาวจีนจำนวนมากเดินทางเข้ามาทำงานที่ภูเก็ต

ต่อมาจักรวรรดิโปรตุเกสได้เดินทางมาทำการค้ากับประเทศในแถบเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้ พร้อมทั้งเอาศิลปะ วัฒนธรรม และสถาปัตยกรรมเข้ามาด้วย เมื่อมาผสมผสานกับศิลปะ วัฒนธรรม และสถาปัตยกรรมของชาวจีนที่อาศัยอยู่ ทำให้เกิดสถาปัตยกรรมชิโน-โปรตุกีส ที่ภูเก็ตขึ้น

อุตสาหกรรมเหมืองแร่ดีบุกนั้นมีความสำคัญต่อภูเก็ตมาจนถึงปี 1980 ก่อนที่จะเริ่มเสื่อมคลายลงเนื่องจากกฏระเบียบด้านสิ่งแวดล้อม

แต่หลังจากนั้น อุตสาหกรรมใหม่ก็ได้เติบโตขึ้นในจังหวัดภูเก็ต นั่นก็คือ อุตสาหกรรมการท่องเที่ยว..

รู้ไหมว่า ในปัจจุบันภูเก็ตเป็นจังหวัดที่มีจำนวนชาวต่างชาติเข้ามาอาศัยเพิ่มขึ้นกว่าเท่าตัว ในรอบ 10 ปีที่ผ่านมา

ปี 2009 จำนวนชาวต่างชาติ 37,338 คน
ปี 2019 จำนวนชาวต่างชาติ 77,793 คน

ขณะที่เศรษฐกิจและการท่องเที่ยวที่เติบโตของภูเก็ต จึงทำให้รายได้ต่อหัวของประชากรในภูเก็ตเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่อง

ปี 2010 รายได้ต่อหัวของประชาชนต่อปีเท่ากับ 186,737 บาท
ปี 2017 รายได้ต่อหัวของประชาชนต่อปีเท่ากับ 388,559 บาท

วันนี้ภาพของภูเก็ตคือ 1 ใน 22 เมืองหลักของประเทศและเป็นหนึ่งในจังหวัดที่สำคัญของการท่องเที่ยวของไทย

ปัจจุบัน ท่าอากาศยานนานาชาติภูเก็ต เป็นสนามบินที่มีผู้มาใช้บริการมากสุดเป็นอันดับที่ 3 ของประเทศ รองจากท่าอากาศยานนานาชาติสุวรรณภูมิ และดอนเมือง โดยในปี 2019 มีจำนวนผู้โดยสารมาใช้บริการจำนวน 17.8 ล้านคน

ในปี 2019 จำนวนนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติทั้งหมดที่มาเมืองไทยนั้น 27% จะเดินทางมาที่ภูเก็ต

ปี 2018 จำนวนนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติ 10.3 ล้านคน มีรายได้จากการท่องเที่ยวจากนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติ 397,000 ล้านบาท

ปี 2019 จำนวนนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติ 10.6 ล้านคน มีรายได้จากการท่องเที่ยวจากนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติ 419,000 ล้านบาท

พอเรื่องเป็นแบบนี้
ทำให้ภูเก็ตนั้นมีรายได้จากการท่องเที่ยวจากนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติถึง 22% ของรายได้จากการท่องเที่ยวจากนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติของไทยทั้งหมด

พูดง่ายๆ ว่า ถ้าการท่องเที่ยวของภูเก็ตมีปัญหา จะสะเทือนถึงการท่องเที่ยวในภาพรวมของประเทศไทยอย่างแน่นอน

และตอนนี้การระบาดของ Covid-19 ตั้งแต่ปลายปี 2019 กำลังส่งผลกระทบอย่างหนักต่อจังหวัดภูเก็ต

เดือนกุมภาพันธ์ ปี 2019 จำนวนนักท่องเที่ยวมาภูเก็ตเฉลี่ยต่อวัน 19,085 คน
เดือนกุมภาพันธ์ ปี 2020 จำนวนนักท่องเที่ยวมาภูเก็ตเฉลี่ยต่อวัน 11,850 คน
จำนวนนักท่องเที่ยวที่ลดลงไป 38% ในตอนนี้

ทำให้ธุรกิจโรงแรม ธุรกิจขนส่ง ธุรกิจร้านอาหาร ร้านค้าและสถานที่ท่องเที่ยว กำลังเดือดร้อนอย่างหนัก หลายธุรกิจกำลังขาดสภาพคล่อง และเกิดความเสียหายทางเศรษฐกิจต่อภูเก็ตอย่างมาก

ที่ผ่านมาภูเก็ตเจอกับหลายเหตุการณ์ร้ายแรงที่ส่งผลกระทบต่อการท่องเที่ยวของจังหวัดอย่างมาก
ตั้งแต่โรคซาร์สในปี 2002 เหตุการณ์สึนามิในปี 2004

แต่ภูเก็ตก็สามารถฟื้นตัวจากวิกฤตได้และการท่องเที่ยวก็กลับมาฟื้นตัวได้เสมอ

เหตุการณ์โรคระบาดที่กำลังเกิดขึ้นในครั้งนี้ก็เช่นกัน ที่ทำให้ภูเก็ตกำลังเจอความท้าทายอย่างหนัก

แต่ด้วยศักยภาพของภูเก็ตทั้งการมีชายหาดที่สวยงาม มีจำนวนโรงแรมที่มีศักยภาพในการรองรับนักท่องเที่ยว รวมทั้งมีแหล่งท่องเที่ยวและแหล่งชอปปิงที่มีชื่อเสียงหลายแห่ง

พวกเราคนไทยทุกคนเชื่อว่า
อีกไม่นานภูเก็ตจะกลับมาต้อนรับนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติจำนวนมาก เหมือนที่ผ่านมา..

In the past, tin mining was one of Phuket's important economic activity.
By over half of the whole area is tin mining

And the industry desperately needs labor, so a lot of chinese people come to work in Phuket.

The Portuguese Empire traveled to trade with Southeast Asia and mixed with art, culture and architecture in combination with the arts, culture and architecture of Chinese residents, making Chino-produces architecture in Phuket.

The tin mining industry was important to Phuket until 1980 before it started decreasing due to environmental regulations.

But then the new industry grew in Phuket. That's the tourism industry..

Did you know that Phuket is currently a province where foreigners have come to live in the last 10 years?

Year 2009, number of 37,338 foreigners
Year 2019, number of 77,793 foreigners

While Phuket's growing economy and tourism are continually increasing the incoming income of Phuket's population.

Year 2010 The income per capita of the people per year is equal to 186,737 baht.
Year 2017 The income per capita of the people per year is equal to 388,559 baht.

Today, the photo of Phuket is 1 of the 22 main cities of the country and is one of the important provinces of Thai tourism.

Phuket International Airport is currently the 3nd largest airport in the country. Secondary from Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Don Mueang. In 2019, there are 17.8 million passengers to service.

In 2019, the total number of foreign tourists in Thailand 27 % will come to Phuket.

Year 2018, the number of 10.3 million foreign tourists earn money from foreign tourists 397,000 million baht.

Year 2019, the number of 10.6 million foreign tourists earn money from foreign tourists 419,000 million baht.

When things are like this
Make Phuket earn 22 % of foreign tourist tourism income from all Thai foreign tourists.

It's easy to say that if Phuket's tourism has a problem, it will surely be a tourism in Thailand's overview.

And now the Covid-19 outbreak from the end of 2019 is making a big impact on Phuket.

In February 2019, the average number of 19,085 travelers come to Phuket.
In February 2020, the average number of 11,850 travelers come to Phuket.
The number of tourists is down to 38 % now.

Hotel business, transportation business, restaurants, shops and attractions are in trouble. Many businesses are missing liquidity and economic damage to Phuket.

In the past, Phuket has experienced many serious events that greatly impact the tourism of the province.
Since SARS in 2002, Tsunami incident in 2004

But Phuket can recover from crisis and tourism can always come back to recovery.

This upcoming plague event is the same that makes Phuket going through a heavy challenge.

But with the potential of Phuket, having beautiful beaches, there are a number of hotels that have the potential to support tourists, including several famous attractions and shopping areas.

We all Thai people believe that
Soon Phuket will be back to welcome as many foreign tourists as before..

【 黎安友專文 l 中國如何看待香港危機 】

美國哥倫比亞大學的資深中國通黎安友（Andrew Nathan）教授最近在《外交事務》（Foreign Affairs）雜誌的專文，值得一看。

黎安友是台灣許多中國研究學者的前輩級老師，小英總統去哥大演講時，正是他積極促成。小英在美國的僑宴，黎安友也是座上賓。

這篇文章的標題是：「中國如何看待香港危機：北京自我克制背後的真正原因」。

文章很長，而且用英文寫，需要花點時間閱讀。大家有空可以看看。

Andrew這篇文章的立論基礎，是來自北京核心圈的匿名說法。以他在學術界的地位，我相信他對消息來源已經做了足夠的事實查核或確認。

這篇文章，是在回答一個疑問：中共為何在香港事件如此自制？有人說是怕西方譴責，有人說是怕損害香港的金融地位。

都不是。這篇文章認為，上述兩者都不是中共的真實顧慮。

無論你多痛恨中共，你都必須真實面對你的敵人。

中共是搞經濟階級鬥爭起家的，當年用階級鬥爭打敗國民黨。而現在，中共正用這樣的思維處理香港議題。

文章有一句話：“China’s response has been rooted not in anxiety but in confidence.” 這句話道盡階級鬥爭的精髓。

中共一點都不焦慮。相反地，中共很有自信，香港的菁英階級及既得利益的收編群體，到最後會支持中共。

這個分化的心理基礎，來自經濟上的利益。

文中還提到，鄧小平當年給香港五十年的一國兩制，就是為了「給香港足夠的時間適應中共的政治系統」。

1997年，香港的GDP佔中國的18%。2018年，這個比例降到2.8%。

今日的香港經濟，在中共的評估，是香港需要中國，而不是中國需要香港。

中共正在在意的，是香港的高房價問題。香港的房價，在過去十年內三倍翻漲。

文章是這樣描述：
“Housing prices have tripled over the past decade; today, the median price of a house is more than 20 times the median gross annual household income. The median rent has increased by nearly 25 percent in the past six years. As many as 250,000 people are waiting for public housing. At the same time, income growth for many Hong Kong residents has fallen below the overall increase in cost of living.”

無論你同不同意這些說法，都請你試圖客觀地看看這篇文章。

有趣的是，黎安友在文章中部分論點引述了他的消息來源（但他並沒有加上個人評論），部分是他自己的觀察。

How China Sees the Hong Kong Crisis
The Real Reasons Behind Beijing’s Restraint

By Andrew J. Nathan September 30, 2019

Massive and sometimes violent protests have rocked Hong Kong for over 100 days. Demonstrators have put forward five demands, of which the most radical is a call for free, direct elections of Hong Kong’s chief executive and all members of the territory’s legislature: in other words, a fully democratic system of local rule, one not controlled by Beijing. As this brazen challenge to Chinese sovereignty has played out, Beijing has made a show of amassing paramilitary forces just across the border in Shenzhen. So far, however, China has not deployed force to quell the unrest and top Chinese leaders have refrained from making public threats to do so.

Western observers who remember the violent crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square 30 years ago have been puzzled by Beijing’s forbearance. Some have attributed Beijing’s restraint to a fear of Western condemnation if China uses force. Others have pointed to Beijing’s concern that a crackdown would damage Hong Kong’s role as a financial center for China.

But according to two Chinese scholars who have connections to regime insiders and who requested anonymity to discuss the thinking of policymakers in Beijing, China’s response has been rooted not in anxiety but in confidence. Beijing is convinced that Hong Kong’s elites and a substantial part of the public do not support the demonstrators and that what truly ails the territory are economic problems rather than political ones—in particular, a combination of stagnant incomes and rising rents. Beijing also believes that, despite the appearance of disorder, its grip on Hong Kong society remains firm. The Chinese Communist Party has long cultivated the territory’s business elites (the so-called tycoons) by offering them favorable economic access to the mainland. The party also maintains a long-standing loyal cadre of underground members in the territory. And China has forged ties with the Hong Kong labor movement and some sections of its criminal underground. Finally, Beijing believes that many ordinary citizens are fearful of change and tired of the disruption caused by the demonstrations.

Beijing therefore thinks that its local allies will stand firm and that the demonstrations will gradually lose public support and eventually die out. As the demonstrations shrink, some frustrated activists will engage in further violence, and that in turn will accelerate the movement’s decline. Meanwhile, Beijing is turning its attention to economic development projects that it believes will address some of the underlying grievances that led many people to take to the streets in the first place.

This view of the situation is held by those at the very top of the regime in Beijing, as evidenced by recent remarks made by Chinese President Xi Jinping, some of which have not been previously reported. In a speech Xi delivered in early September to a new class of rising political stars at the Central Party School in Beijing, he rejected the suggestion of some officials that China should declare a state of emergency in Hong Kong and send in the People’s Liberation Army. “That would be going down a political road of no return,” Xi said. “The central government will exercise the most patience and restraint and allow the [regional government] and the local police force to resolve the crisis.” In separate remarks that Xi made around the same time, he spelled out what he sees as the proper way to proceed: “Economic development is the only golden key to resolving all sorts of problems facing Hong Kong today.”

ONE COUNTRY, TWO SYSTEMS, MANY QUESTIONS

Chinese decision-makers are hardly surprised that Hong Kong is chafing under their rule. Beijing believes it has treated Hong Kong with a light hand and has supported the territory’s economy in many ways, especially by granting it special access to the mainland’s stocks and currency markets, exempting it from the taxes and fees that other Chinese provinces and municipalities pay the central government, and guaranteeing a reliable supply of water, electricity, gas, and food. Even so, Beijing considers disaffection among Hong Kong’s residents a natural outgrowth of the territory’s colonial British past and also a result of the continuing influence of Western values. Indeed, during the 1984 negotiations between China and the United Kingdom over Hong Kong’s future, the Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping suggested following the approach of “one country, two systems” for 50 years precisely to give people in Hong Kong plenty of time to get used to the Chinese political system.

But “one country, two systems” was never intended to result in Hong Kong spinning out of China’s control. Under the Basic Law that China crafted as Hong Kong’s “mini-constitution,” Beijing retained the right to prevent any challenge to what it considered its core security interests. The law empowered Beijing to determine if and when Hong Kongers could directly elect the territory’s leadership, allowed Beijing to veto laws passed by the Hong Kong Legislative Council, and granted China the right to make final interpretations of the Basic Law. And there would be no question about who had a monopoly of force. During the negotiations with the United Kingdom, Deng publicly rebuked a top Chinese defense official—General Geng Biao, who at the time was a patron of a rising young official named Xi Jinping—for suggesting that there might not be any need to put troops in Hong Kong. Deng insisted that a Chinese garrison was necessary to symbolize Chinese sovereignty.

Statements made by U.S. politicians in support of the recent demonstrations only confirm Beijing’s belief that Washington seeks to inflame radical sentiments in Hong Kong.

At first, Hong Kongers seemed to accept their new role as citizens of a rising China. In 1997, in a tracking poll of Hong Kong residents regularly conducted by researchers at the University of Hong Kong, 47 percent of respondents identified themselves as “proud” citizens of China. But things went downhill from there. In 2012, the Hong Kong government tried to introduce “patriotic education” in elementary and middle schools, but the proposed curriculum ran into a storm of local opposition and had to be withdrawn. In 2014, the 79-day Umbrella Movement brought hundreds of thousands of citizens into the streets to protest Beijing’s refusal to allow direct elections for the chief executive. And as authoritarianism has intensified under Xi’s rule, events such as the 2015 kidnapping of five Hong Kong–based publishers to stand trial in the mainland further soured Hong Kong opinion. By this past June, only 27 percent of respondents to the tracking poll described themselves as “proud” to be citizens of China. This year’s demonstrations started as a protest against a proposed law that would have allowed Hong Kongers suspected of criminal wrongdoing to be extradited to the mainland but then developed into a broad-based expression of discontent over the lack of democratic accountability, police brutality, and, most fundamentally, what was perceived as a mainland assault on Hong Kong’s unique identity.

Still, Chinese leaders do not blame themselves for these shifts in public opinion. Rather, they believe that Western powers, especially the United States, have sought to drive a wedge between Hong Kong and the mainland. Statements made by U.S. politicians in support of the recent demonstrations only confirm Beijing’s belief that Washington seeks to inflame radical sentiments in Hong Kong. As Xi explained in his speech in September:
As extreme elements in Hong Kong turn more and more violent, Western forces, especially the United States, have been increasingly open in their involvement. Some extreme anti-China forces in the United States are trying to turn Hong Kong into the battleground for U.S.-Chinese rivalry…. They want to turn Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy into de facto independence, with the ultimate objective to contain China's rise and prevent the revival of the great Chinese nation.

Chinese leaders do not fear that a crackdown on Hong Kong would inspire Western antagonism. Rather, they take such antagonism as a preexisting reality—one that goes a long way toward explaining why the disorder in Hong Kong broke out in the first place. In Beijing’s eyes, Western hostility is rooted in the mere fact of China’s rise, and thus there is no use in tailoring China’s Hong Kong strategy to influence how Western powers would respond.

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE BENJAMINS

The view that Xi has not deployed troops because of Hong Kong’s economic importance to the mainland is also misguided, and relies on an outdated view of the balance of economic power. In 1997, Hong Kong’s GDP was equivalent to 18 percent of the mainland’s. Most of China’s foreign trade was conducted through Hong Kong, providing China with badly needed hard currencies. Chinese companies raised most of their capital on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Today, things are vastly different. In 2018, Hong Kong’s GDP was equal to only 2.7 percent of the mainland’s. Shenzhen alone has overtaken Hong Kong in terms of GDP. Less than 12 percent of China’s exports now flow through Hong Kong. The combined market value of China’s domestic stock exchanges in Shanghai and Shenzhen far surpasses that of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and Chinese companies can also list in Frankfurt, London, New York, and elsewhere.

Although Hong Kong remains the largest offshore clearing center for renminbi, that role could easily be filled by London or Singapore, if Chinese leaders so desired.
Investment flowing into and out of China still tends to pass through financial holding vehicles set up in Hong Kong, in order to benefit from the region’s legal protections. But China’s new foreign investment law (which will take effect on January 1, 2020) and other recent policy changes mean that such investment will soon be able to bypass Hong Kong. And although Hong Kong remains the largest offshore clearing center for renminbi, that role could easily be filled by London or Singapore, if Chinese leaders so desired.

Wrecking Hong Kong’s economy by using military force to impose emergency rule would not be a good thing for China. But the negative effect on the mainland’s prosperity would not be strong enough to prevent Beijing from doing whatever it believes is necessary to maintain control over the territory.

CAN’T BUY ME LOVE?

As it waits out the current crisis, Beijing has already started tackling the economic problems that it believes are the source of much of the anger among Hong Kongers. Housing prices have tripled over the past decade; today, the median price of a house is more than 20 times the median gross annual household income. The median rent has increased by nearly 25 percent in the past six years. As many as 250,000 people are waiting for public housing. At the same time, income growth for many Hong Kong residents has fallen below the overall increase in cost of living.

ALL ABOUT KEIGO HERE:

Many commenters are confusing DESU/MASU for KEIGO. DESU/MASU is what one must learn when they are learning Japanese for the first time, it is the polite way of speaking, but KEIGO is like, one level above that, where all the verbs change. In DESU/MASU, To Eat would be "Tabemasu" but in KEIGO it's "Meshiagarimasu". "To See" - Mimasu - "Haikenshimasu/Goranninarimasu­" It is used to show maximum "politeness" and respect. These days, most people don't need it unless they're in a business situation.

Japanese language changes depending on the relationship between the speaker and the listener. While it is common in everyday life to use a combination of formal and informal Japanese, Keigo (敬語) is the most formal/polite way of speaking the Japanese language, and although many may not use it in their daily life, it is very important to know how to speak keigo in business, or when you are in a situation where you must show absolute upmost respect to the listener.

In my experience, I listen to keigo a lot more than I use it, I'm getting better at understanding it, but it wasn't always this way. Still, I am not confident enough to speak it, or even teach it, so I'll leave that to the commenters, if they will be so kind as to teach us a few phrases we can use. 8)

敬語は、日本語の勉強の中で私にとって一番難しいなのです。そうですよ、漢字よりも。今頃、聞くのに慣れても、話すことには全然自信ないです。コメントで、一番使える敬語を教えていただけると、視聴者のためになると思います。私も、敬語で丁寧に話せるようになりたいです。どうしたらいいでしょうか？　よろしくお願いいたします。
