South Korean tourists (men) might be interested in coming to Thailand, but no go go bars or massage parlours open, so no point for them. Hordes of Chinese tourists unlikely with a 14 day quarantine when back in China, Hong Kong and Macau, so that leaves not much.

With this anouncement as China etc being well managed ref Covid 19, the next step will be that any country (not mentioning China of course) that are removed from the banned list can enter Thailand without quarantine and amazingly within a few days China will reciprocate!

 

So there's the answer, all the EU and UK etc have to do is state we have no Covid 19 issues and we can manage and then we can all fly to Thailand! 

They must appease there Chinese masters 

Well I never - I have just commentated in another post saying I believe it will be the Chinese and South Koreans that will be the first to fly into Thailand when the ban is lifted. Remember, the top 50 richest families in Thailand are ethnic Chinese and I will say no more!

Yeah I bet since they had advanced knowledge that they failed to share with the rest of the world.

The question should be, will the CCP allow it's citizens out for a holiday and not have to 14 day quarantine when they arrive back in China?

Even better; last I saw some places where up to 28 days on return. Add the fact the government is promoting holidaying in China, those on here up in arms are a bit premature IMO.

1) There's also the problem of no normal international flights allowed to land here, and

2) Isn't there still a stipulation that people entering the country have to observe a 14-day quarantine upon arrival?

Exeptions could maybe made for "those removed from the list" .....????.....

Exactly, very premature, more hope on the Thai government side that hordes of Chinese tourists might come. Unless countries drop the 14 day quarantine on return, then not many people will be going anywhere.

I predict the Chinese will be one of the first nationalities to be allowed to enter Thailand ( once flights open up) because the Thai- Chinese political appointee health minister ( with no degree in medicine) seems to be able to quickly forget the coronavirus originated in China and their COVID-19 victim statistics are questionable; yet, his dislike for the “white Westerner” is very obvious.

Can you please post a link to details of that second wave in China, because I have not seen it. Thanks.

There are many reports of new Infections in China

I dont mean a " Second Wave " , but there are new Infections in Wuhan, and another City called Shulan in the North East is in Lockdown

BBC News

0 case Thailand will probably only let people from other 0 case countries enter. So, Chinese and.....who else,,?

Does the Thai authorities actually believe ANYTHING that the Chinese Communists Party says? Are the powers that be so blinded by money that you they to re-expose the country to the people who are responsible for The Hong Kong Flu, the Bird Flu, Asian flu, Sars, Swine flu, the Wuhan Coronaviews ...the list is endless. The pay for 85% of their vacation to Thailand in China to Chinese companies. They fly on Chinese aircraft. They stay in many hotels that are owned by Chinese front companies, the ride on busses owned by Chinese money, the eat in Chinese owned restaurants and shop in Chinese owned stores. The employment gained is by hotel workers and the bartenders and girls in the few bars that they visit. 

 

The busses cause wear and tear on the road system and clog traffic. They dump their waste into the Thai sewers, They pollute the air. The mass of humanity, paying little money, are inflicting wear and tear on Thai monuments and temples that they visit. The are often disrespectful and spit on everything. 

 

Sure Thailand....let's try to INCREASE the number of these high quality low profit tourists and run the farang out. The simple truth is that the reson they come to Thailand is that other countries don't want them. 

 

Has anyone in the government ever bothered to do a simple  "Cost Benefit Analysis" of the Chinese tourist industry. 

....I don't expect and answer. We all know the answer!!!

Agreed. But they'll still make it impossible for me to enter Thailand.

who else could have done something like that, sure it had to be him,  the Sino Thai schmuck. Are these 2 related?

Billionaire Dhanin Chearavanont, chairman of Charoen Pokphand, is urging the government to relax lockdown measures and welcome foreign travellers as soon as possible, and turn the country into a "safe haven" for wealthy visitors.

China aren't going to place three cities on lockdown without reason,  yes there are several clusters that have broken out, conveniently not reported in the official figures

Really, I heard a report a few weeks ago about locking down another city with a population of 10 million, after which it has gone quiet. So is China having a second wave? The worldometer data is not showing it as you say.

Do Chinese tourists need to be quarantined for 14 days in Thailand? Then another 14 days when they go back to China?

 

Then most of the time, they are just quarantine-ing and not shopping so what's the point of coming to Thailand?

 

 

A one day all you can eat buffet

Just remarkable how much Anoutin loves to serve his Chinese friends!!

In Europe we are speaking about a second wave of Chinese Corona starting in China, the north of China around Jilin and Harbin are now the new hotspots. How can this stupid man remove China from the list at THIS point is just strange. He personally gets paid by Chinese? Remember? Just some weeks ago he started to spread the official Chinese propaganda, Chinese Corona would not originate from China and that dirty farangs who are not showering brought it into Thailand!!

I use worldometer but as far as figures coming out of China is concerned it is simply reporting what it is told by China. 

 

China has reported less than 8 cases a day for the past three weeks and no most days it reports less then 3 which for a country where the virus originated with a population of 1.2 billion is simply not believable. There is also the issue that China has not reported a single death for the past 2 weeks. If you visit Youtube and watch a couple of episodes of "China in Focus" or "China uncensored" it is very apparent that there is definitely many more cases then is being reported.

It was reported Thailand to be transformed into a safe place for worried tourists. This is not the way to let Chinese come in an then try to sell Thailand as a safe destination?! What damage of reputation is Anoutin trying to do to the Thai people?! Is it only incompetence or is there corruption too?

I find the way the public relations have been handled during this whole situation to be disgusting. How Farangs have been demoted and demonised and how Thailand has kissed China's <deleted>. Sure Chinese account for a huge number of tourists but that's only due to tour groups who spend next to no money in local Thai businesses. Most Farangs I know spend between £300 to £500 a day and some are blowing a lot more, excluding hotels. I would go so far as to say that this daily budget is probably the same as the average Chinese group member spends during their entire holiday.

Until there is no quarantines, there will be little money to be made with tourism. I think long haul tourism will revert back to what it was 15 to 20 years ago, intrepid travellers, backpackers and sex tourists. Too many people are scared to leave their own house let alone sit on a plane for 12+ hours. Authoritarian regimes like China won't be letting masses out for a while.

That's untrue and there's no lockdown (those are just rumors). The cases have been low for the past 14 days just like Thailand.

 

If a 'new outbreak' means single digit or less than 20 cases, then there's new outbreak everywhere in the world.

Yes 6 news cases in wuhan and u can gauratee there will be a second wave from the Chinese and to be honest what foriegnors would want to be around them  Chinese we will have to see what resentment there will be with them Chinese in all countrys and there will be for sure
