Thailand eyes tourists from China, New Zealand to fill its ‘travel bubble’

Featured Replies

So what happened to the great savior India?  Weren't they the biggest per capita spenders, and just lining-up to spend rupees in Thailand?

  • I would be amazed if NZ did that deal. Also think NZ population is ~5mil. Bit bigger than say city of Melbourne. Au. In my travels throughout Thai, I very rarely run into NZ tourists. T

    As long as they keep those Chinese people in a fully contained rolling plastic bubble away from the general public and CM all is well. 

  • There will have to be one other country at least when China is allowed back in. If it's only China and there's a spike of Covid 19, that would look bad and where to put the blame?

For me, Chinese are welcome as long as they don't come from mainland China,

Yes, and in that kight I don’t understand why one would need a ‘fit to fly’ certificate and a medical certificate if everybody is tested upon arrival anyhow.....,.,

Because this is Thailand, nothing needs to make sense.

Just reading Japan news re Japan's plan to have bubble with AU, NZ, Vietnam, Thailand. Allowing 250 per day.

What happens if/when a country e.g Thailand has own bubble and includes countries such as China, which is not on Japan's wish list. 

Struggle to understand the bubble concept.

I would think the low risk countries that would assist in the Thai Airways restructure will be at the top of the Governments target list.The TG flight out of Auckland was not very well supported.

To add to my previous post re NZ and China etc. Recently AU put forward investigation looking into origin of covid-19 to UN.

Straight away China described AU as chewing gum on their boot needing scraping off. Couple of days later banned lot of beef imports along with huge tariffs on barley (of all things).

Japan week or so back listed counties that they are looking at for "bubble" NZ,AU , Vietnam and several others in their thinking.

China was not on that list. Why

 

China - Japan or Japan - China they don't trust each other, long time/past missed love affair

Amazes me to think they are to allow Chinese tourists in

when I am not even allowed to wander down to my local bar & have a chit chat with 

others that have basically been in quarantine in Thailand for 3 months  

Hypocracy ?

Besides, Thailand, I can't think of any other country that would have China as a " travel bubble country"

2. For all the people who are still wearing their pink sunglasses, go online and get some real information about China e.g.

    "NTD News", "China uncensored", "EPOCH times". You will get shocked to hear the real story and not only synchronized

    news.

 

Out of curiosity I googled those three. Based on Wikipedia, all three of the "real news" sites you mentioned are linked to the Falun Gong sect/religion (or whatever they are). Seems a bit like you hand-picked them.

 

Taking EPOCH Times as an example, what's even worse they don't restrict their news to religious stuff, but other great topics. To quote the Wikipedia entry for EPOCH:

 

"The media outlet is primarily known for promoting far-right politicians across Europe and the United States, and in particular for its promotion of U.S. President Donald Trump; a 2019 report showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign.[11][12][13][14] The group's news sites and YouTube channels have spread conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccination propaganda."

 

China state funded news with all their propaganda operations of course can't be taken at face value. But at least everyone knows this, they don't hide that they are propaganda operations. That's very much in contrast to the sites you mentioned above.

 

Don't think I'll become an avid reader of these "real information" sites on China...

"The aim will be to provide people a Bt3,000 subsidy encouraging them to travel to other provinces..."

 

What about the Bt3,000-5,000 promised to the people so they could get something to eat?!

They're about to go to war with China. So that will make for an interesting breakfast buffet line.

It seems only Thailand believes China’s Wuhan virus numbers.

I agree with previous ideas about NZ tourists paired with Chinese tourists. If another Wuhan virus occurs after July—no doubt the NZ tourists will get blamed.

 Why don't you believe them?

They're doing an America. 20,000 new cases a day.

 

There will be no war, minor border dispute.

Just now poped down to my little tesco for shopping. I got my things went to the register, and was greeted with stretched hi piched voice,pointing to her face. I forgot my mask.

what I saw behind those eyes was chilling, actually one of the most intense moments I’ve had anywhere. I had a couple of incidents in Vietnam 20 yrs ago for reference...    ????

I hold no judgment for the employee, only illuminates excessive constant fear drumming on the tv. Not her fault.  
It is possible that she didn’t take that class on Critical Thinking.

 

One thing is true, this young lady was in a state of full blown something, and it wasn’t good.

 

Some say COVID is Unconventional psychological Warfare.

Some say COVID is just the flu.

Some say you will die if you don’t use personal protection barriers.

 

never let a good plandemic go to waste.

 

Welcome to the new normal...........Chiland.

Thailand and travel bubbles with safe travelers. I'm sure they would love to get the China market back and a chugging in Thailand. However there are worries the PR of China official stats are not exactly truthful. And now  ....

 

BEIJING (Reuters) – A district of Beijing was on a “wartime” footing and the capital banned tourism on Saturday after a cluster of novel coronavirus infections centred around a major wholesale market sparked fears of a new wave of COVID-19.

 

TATs rosy predictions don't look so good.

Quote, China was not on that list. Why? 

Simple, The CCP is showing its true colors, they don't give a toss about what they have done to the world economy and nearly 500,000 dead from their virus, which was known to them from early November last year, but decided not to tell anyone until mid January that it can be transmitted human to human. Not to mention, that they shut down Wuhan province for domestic travel, however, let thousands of their people leave from Wuhan on International flights around the world which started the Pandemic. The CCP are nothing but thugs and I hope this is the beginning that will bring down this brutal regime.

Dear Mr Two faced Anutin, Why would any dirty fallang from NZ want to come to the Covid free (untested) Thailand

Can the Kiwis use the bus when they are in Thailand ?

As a matter of fact. This idea is quiet silly.

NZ does not have many citizen to cover the tourist market.

China on the other side has approx. 1,7 billion people but as we have seen, it would not be smart and wise.

1. China's number of virus case are fake. As everybody knows, in a dictatorship regime every station in the hierarchy

   modifies the number forwarded to their superior to look good/or does not get punished. 

2. For all the people who are still wearing their pink sunglasses, go online and get some real information about China e.g.

    "NTD News", "China uncensored", "EPOCH times". You will get shocked to hear the real story and not only synchronized

    news.

3. Everybody should be more critical about their political environment.

I've been watching those media sources for a couple of years and find them very enlightening. 

 

Unfortunately TVF have removed every post or video that I have posted with those media sources because they state they are not verified news sources......

Hmm, I see no mention of the $100,000 USD Insurance Policy that will cover Covid 19 Related Medical Treatment?

People from Taiwan aren't Chinese and in the current climate I don't think those from HK would want to be referred as `Chinese either

Blame?  This is Thailand.  Thai’s are never at fault for anything no matter how absurd the mess made.

A lot of organised criminal groups who have been arrested on Thai media over the past few week hosting illegal online gambling, scam websites, Bitcoin scams, money laundering etc etc have all been from China. Look at all the crime that has started in Cambodia since they allowed the Chinese casinos to open. 

 

I know Farang also commit crimes but but normally as individuals. it seems that Chinese are responsible for a lot of organised criminal operations.
