The Chinese Embassy in Bangkok has urged Chinese citizens attending cultural performances, sporting events and fan meetings in Thailand to comply strictly with local laws and venue regulations, following several incidents involving Chinese fans.
In its statement on 9 August 2026, the embassy also called on visitors to respect Thai people, religious beliefs, customs and cultural traditions. It said those taking part in events should do so in an orderly way and help maintain the traditional "Thailand-China family" friendship.
Advice for fans attending Thai events
The embassy told Chinese visitors to check event requirements before attending, including rules covering entry, photography and prohibited items.
It said visitors should follow the directions of organisers and venue staff, and should behave with "respect, friendship and tolerance" towards Thai people.
Chinese citizens caught up in a disagreement were advised to remain calm and use official channels for assistance. These could include event organisers, staff or local police, rather than attempting to settle matters themselves.
Recent incidents involving Chinese fans
The reminder follows recent cases involving Chinese fans in Thailand. These included fans breaching safety rules while following actors at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
There was also a confrontation between Chinese fans and security staff at an event involving Thai actors.
The embassy said Chinese citizens should join activities in a "civilised, rational and orderly" manner, strengthen friendly exchanges with Thai people and contribute to closer relations between the two countries.
