Let me guess: you have never been in China. If a Chinese, especially from a Tier-1 city, 

comes to Thailand, he thinks he is back in time for 15 - 20 years. Also in Bangkok. 

Well, the icing of the tourism cake - as far as Chinese outbound traffic is concerned - travels (..ahem ... travelled) to Europe, stayed in EUR 400+/night hotels; a very similar pattern as the wealthier Russians. 

The financially more challenged segment of Chinese traffic ends (...ahem ... ended) in Pattaya where lousy cold buffets were ransacked, snake shows and (not quite legal) ping pong shows were the name of the game.

Back in time - then stay in Laos - back in time in an exotic mysterious place - then go to Myanmar ... Tier-1 travellers hardly enjoy the traffic jams of lower Sukhumvit in Bangkok or "Chinatown"; latter is better and more diverse back there where they come (... ahem ...) came from - me thinks!
