Are there a lot of Chinese tourists in Koh Lanta right now. Thinking of popping down but would prefer to avoid the throngs of Chinese Tourists

So avoid them.

Pretty sure there are a lot of Chinese tourists everywhere right now. Quite scary considering 5 million people left Wuhan before they quarantined it.

This issue will be resolved in a few days. As per the Chinese government edict;

The Chinese government last Saturday announced a ban on overseas tours and the purchase of flights and hotels abroad, according to a report from The New York Times

Flights still arriving directly from Wuhan to Krabi , Even though Wuhan is on lockdown  .. last one yesterday  

Lovely in Lanta, very few Chinese, mostly Europeans. Business that traditionally cater to the non-Chinese tourists doing very well. That said overbuilding here continues. Sometimes the best way to stay prosperous is to stay the same and restrict growth

Maybe we will start to see people buying those big plastic bubbles you can walk in..
