Just savour the fact that there are no Chinese by the bus load at the moment.  But, by Christmas they will be back...maybe in lower overall numbers but still by the bus load!  

And I wonder, when they are seen en masse, if some Thais will react with abuse, harassment, etc., and ultimately the word will spread and the Chinese come in much less numbers.

 

i'm not anti Chinese, just guessing some possible reactions by Thai folks.

As soon as there's a baht note to be seen the abuse turns to a wai and a fake smile.

Perhaps he does not understand, but no tourists, High end or bottom end, are going to bother coming if "full and free travel should become a “thing of the past.” It really is as simple as that,

But....but....don't they come for the temples, the food and the Thai smile?
