Looking at it from the other side, do many Thais go to China for holidays?

I think to some major tourist places they like to travel. Problem is that also Thai citizens need a visa.

Chinese hero of Thai boat tragedy marries his sweetheart and fellow survivor
Engaged couple were holidaying in Phuket when their boat capsized
He spent 15 hours in the water and saved the life of a crewmen

A Chinese hero of Thailand’s worst tourist-related disaster in years has married his sweetheart in central China three months after the fateful
boat tragedy which could have separated them forever. Zhang Haofeng, who helped save a crew member during the boat accident that killed 47 people, was rescued after floating in the sea for 15 hours. Last weekend he married Meng Ying, who was also among the Chinese tourists on the boat that day, in a ceremony in Xinyang, Henan province. They were holidaying on the resort island of Phuket in southern Thailand when they boarded the boat Serenita on July 5 which capsized in the same storm which sank another boat, Phoenix.

But i sure hope it will hamper stupidity, laziness and absolute disregard for the modicum of safety and for human lives being taken everyday by the people whom we trust wit our lives..

It's one reason I don't take taxis or any form of public transport, unless absolutely necessary. Many Thais leave their lives up to fate, which is why many show a total disregard for any safety measures.

My wife was in China at that time of the boat sinking. There was a boat trip planned there too, but my wife and her colleagues couldn't go as the Chinese authorities banned boating on that day as the seas were too rough. There you go.
