Chinese Tourists

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

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
