Chinese millionaires in private jet will be first tourists allowed in under STV

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Sanook reported that a group of seven Chinese millionaires will be the first group of foreign tourists allowed back into Thailand now that the STV special visa has essentially been approved. 

 

The rich Chinese will be on a private jet possibly as early as tomorrow.

 

The media said they had approached the foreign ministry and the TAT directly regarding the trip. 

 

This is a separate flight to one already announced that will carry around 120-150 Chinese on a charter trip from Gwangzhou direct to Phuket next month, notes Thaivisa. 

 

In a story repeating many of the special tourist visa developments Sanook quoted tourism minister Pipat Ratchakitprkarn and TAT governor Yutthasak Suphasorn as saying it was all systems go to start opening up the country to foreign tourism. 

 

Just foreign ministry approval is now needed.

 

The media said that the private jet trip was not a long stay plan but a short visit. 

 

This is in contrast to the original billing of the visa as a long stay option, notes Thaivisa.

So they won't be leaving the airport then ?  while others have to do 14 day quarantine at approved locations.

As usual one rule for the rich while others have to toe the line .....!!!

Of course, don't you know rich people are a better class, and can't possibly have diseases like us filthy common people. 

Just enough time to get their money out of their own country???  Make some property purchases?

 

 

We will do well to keep a long distance from them Chinese Millionaires and all other Chinese  until and when a vaccine will be found, the irony is that that the first tourists they allow in are from the country who started this whole mass...

You still don't understand that laws and rules don't apply to rich people. Maybe this video will illustrate it to you:

 

 

And no, don't subscribe.

You can bet that these Chinese guys are personal friends of the government, invited to invest in the remains of the industy which was intenionally ruined by the government. This is part of Chinas road and belt initiative and this is how the generals become unusual rich. And you can bet that these Chinese neither have to do the 14 days quarantine, nor do they have to wear the wristbands to track them. 

Chinese should be the last allowed anywhere. They started this pandemic 1 million + dead and not a word from the Chinese Goverment

Yes, agree. But obviously the Thai government is bought by the Chinese. That's why all this happens now.

Private jets but too damn cheap to buy an elite visa hahahaha

The Chinese billionaires who are the first to enter the group are expected to be businessmen and travel coordinators and apply for the special visa directly through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

 

Oh so working without work permit? Gotcha

which one govts  full  of  em?

I trust they'll have all the necessary doc's in order to gain entry : 

 

US$100K covid insurance cover.

COE permit

Fit to fly certificate 

Testing clearance from originating destination

STV approval stamp in valid passport

 

Then they will be processed at the IO entry facility where :

They will be fitted with a gps tracker wristband

They will be escorted to the appointed ASQ hotel for 14 days quarantine. 

 

somehow, i'm skeptical that they'll have any of this .....  lol

Who do you think can afford all those diseased carrying delicacies? 

 

The Thai army's relationship with just shows how easy they can be swayed.  cha cha in a embarrassment to the country.   

The only reason I could think of for a Chinese millionaire to fly into Thailand would be to research for a set-up for takeover of properties.

 

It's a heist.

They'll undergo the Dannii Minogue level quarantine, of course. On account of their frightful claustrophobia.

And use those Condo,s for the Zero Dollar Tourists to stay in when they return

These rich Chinese will be coming here to buy up as much Covid damaged goods as they can find.

Large Condo developments that need finishing, Business,s that will show good profit upon the return of the Hoards

No quarantine then?

The super rich are super special, and worshipped by the hapless army here. Super people must be immune to Covid. Why restrict them? They must be coddled. 

 

They keep saying they want rich tourists. What sacrifices are the ministers willing to make, to get them? Rich tourists like to spend money when they travel. And they cannot do that here, as they do not like getting taken for a ride. Most wealthy people are smart with their money. Thailand could be making a fortune on a 25% luxury tax. Instead of the 100% or more, which discourages most people from buying. How many people do you see in the luxury stores here? They are almost always completely empty. Inane. Beyond inane.

 

So, even without restrictions, Thailand will not attract more than a few hundred very rich tourists a year. 

 

Most who come, once the nation opens again, will be the lower end, to lower middle income folks. Great if you are running a swap meet. Not a tourism industry.
