Chinese travellers name Thailand their ‘Recommended Travel Destination of the Year’

[RafPinto]

They should start a "poll" of which country is the "least desired one" 

 

Probably China would win everywhere.

The title of the article immediately preceding this: “China pressured Thai government officials to not criticize Sinovac vaccine”

 

and this thread highlights their incentive/reward to “not criticize”!!!

This must be the first time in global history that a destination has 'won' travel recommendation destination of the year from a country that haven't and will not send any tourists in the same year.

 

Absolutely daft award and story.

 

 

 

 

I'm Phuket at the moment, Patong is pretty happening.  Not a Chinese in sight at the resort I'm at nor walking street.  Did overhear a South Korean couple at a restaurant.  Are they all up in Chiang Mai?

What is in stall for everyone when the CCP-proud Chinese tourists come piling back into LOS. 

Sure, they are amicable to their Thai allies, but will be interesting how they react to Westerners post COVID (and vice-versa) after being forcefully spoon-fed two years of delusional propaganda and conspiracy theories.  Wouldn't be surprised if they have security escorts wherever they travel.
