Lilyofthevalley Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Chinese Business / government folk buying cheap real estate / hotels in Thailand can be the reason to do quarantine prison and still spend such amounts... no one in their right mind would come for holiday to be subjected to isolated confirment when they have a negative covid test pre flight.

mac1970 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Great, so we can expect to see radical decline in the numbers of Chinese tourists as 99% are not able to spend 400 000 Bath? Those who can stay behind walls of 5-star luxury hotels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salerno Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 As undoubtedly the spokesman is talking out of his proverbial the main takeaway I'm getting from this thread is that the old "us expats should be looked after better as we bring in more money than tourists" is also undoubtedly ballocks based on the incredulity shown here.

Derek B Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 22 hours ago, rooster59 said: Chinese tourists will be spending up to 400K each in their short time in Thailand, TAT chief Image: Channel 7 The governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand told Channel 7 that the group of Chinese tourists that arrived from Shanghai and are now visiting the seaside after passing through a 14 day quarantine would be spending between 300,000 and 400,000 baht each. They will be here for a month in total. Yuthasak Suphasorn said there were 39 of them. This was roughly the originally reported number and different to other reports that suggested there were 33, notes Thaivisa. The tourists were the first group on the STV (special tourist visa) and arrived in Bangkok where they underwent the two week quarantine at a luxury hotel. It was unclear whether the cost of their quarantine was part of the governor's assessment of their spending power. Yuthasak said it was just a matter of a few days before the next group of more than 100 tourists from Gwangzhou are released from quarantine. He said that people need not worry about them - they are Covid free and like Thai returnees have gone through all the necessary measures.

Disillusioned farang Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 What a stupid statement ! Don’t these people ever get bored with making themselves look Like total dumbasses? They really haven’t worked out that the average Chinese tourist comes on a package tour and does not spend as much as the average farang on holiday ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drenddy Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I suggest THAI Government should make an official FB page for these chinese tourists, with the great leader as admin, where they post the receipts for all the stuff they will purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancid Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hmm, so after prepaying in China to Chinese companies for their Chinese airfares, Chinese hotels, Chinese tours and Chinese restaurants they are then going to go out and spend B100,000/week on what? Handbags at Chinese duty free shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 They must be buying some joint paid place for their relatives who are coming next, like a condo with lots of roll out cots and sparebeds. Too much money for a short time, unless they are buying gold. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
