Chinese invasion in Chiang Mai: Thai operators using "Muay Thai" Chinese doing "Mixed Martial Arts"

 

 

An academic in Chiang Mai has described the tourist business situation in Chiang Mai in terms of a fight in the ring. 

 

Dr Danairan who works in the "China Intelligence" section of Chiang Mai University said that Thais in business were still doing Thai boxing.

 

But the Chinese were wilier - they were employing the tactics of Mixed Martial Arts - grabbing the Thais and forcing them to the canvas.

 

The Chinese were winning. 

 

The message was clear - The Thais need to get tough and change some of their practices or go under. 

 

The video was produced by Chiang Mai News who said in their tagline: "Chinese invasion in Chiang Mai - crisis or opportunity?"

 

The media said that the northern Thai city was being overrun by more than one million Chinese visitors a year. 

They posed the question: Do Thai bisinesses need to adjust how they operate?

 

And if so - How? 

 

Dr Danairan suggested that many Chinese were operating by the rules and paying taxes. The ones who are not need to be prosecuted.

 neither Chinese nor thais respect this nation or the enviorment ...The gloves are off..

The only way to stop them is to put tour prices up out of their wage rate, place a special higher price on everything in Thai or shut the boarders , any one of these would see a cancelling of the high speed whatever to Beijing and wherever else and a reprimand by the Beijing crowd, Thailand couldn't see the forest for the greed,  the damage was done a long time ago, unfortunately Thailand you now has to live with it.

Yeah! The only people who really care about Thailand are retired Westerners and Western digital nomads and Western tourists and Western businesspeople. ????

Not only is Chiang Mai an incredibly boring city, has the worst traffic system, choking smog and an awful immigration office, but it is now overrun with Chinese.

Night Safari was full of Chinese visitors this afternoon … but this is a BIG WEEK for the Chinese… major holiday on 1st October.….

Third world vs. third world, they can deal with each other easily.

There are two issues, which are not really being discussed here - 1. Chinese expatriating to Thailand, but not obtaining proper visas and 2. Many of those Chinese expatriates running illegal tourism businesses for mainland visitors.

As with the Russians, Thai officials need to step up clearing out these illegal businesses. They are not properly run (e.g. the Pattaya pleasure boat which recently sank), do not pay taxes, grease the bribery system and are a convenient cover for mafia infiltration of Thailand.

While Thai tour operators & Thais in local businesses chase the "quick baht/Yuan" there will be no end to the red invasion... this is just tourism.

However just wait until Xi Jinping's master plan for an SE Asian takeover is fully in place and then get used to having a new master around!!
