webfact Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Local tour guides protest over illegal tour guides By Kritsada Mueanhawong Phuket tour guides today protested at the Phuket Provincial City Hall over illegal tour guides they say are taking their jobs. About 100 Phuket tour guides protested in front of the Phuket Provincial City Hall and handed a letter to Phuket’s Vice Governor Tanyawat Chanpinit pleading for fairness in the situation. President of Andaman Tour Guide Association, Krit Thepbamrung, who was leading the protesters, says, “We haven’t received fairness from government offices.” Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/local-tour-guides-protest-over-illegal-tour-guides -- © Copyright The Thaiger 2018-11-02 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bluesofa Posted November 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2018 “They need to review the new rules at the Phuket International Airport about controlling and checking legal tour guides when entering the inside zone and raising signs to take customers. Illegal tour guides can easily enter that zone.” So I wonder what they don't? Too difficult? Interesting to see the protesters signs, one said in English: "Barbarian Guide Get Out!" Oddly enough, I couldn't see any in Chinese. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organised by the tour agent. And the trip will include a visit to a jewelry shop and duty free shopping, plus of course a latex factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldieinkathu Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Wait til these pictures are posted all over Chinese social media and they look up the meaning of Barbarian. Seems the locals just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper. ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Not really sure how this is supposed to win back Chinese tourists to Thailand. It will be tough for the TAT to put the "correct" spin on this when it hits the Chinese media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
