Bangkok (VNA) – Thailand’s tour operators are expecting outbound tourism from China will restart in late January 2023 during the Lunar New Year festival when China gradually lifts its COVID-19 restrictions. The move will support the recovery of tourism-relating stocks and Thailand’s tourism. Speaking at a recent event held by the Federation of Thailand Capital Market Organisation (Fetco), Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Yuthasak Supasorn said that the agency has a plan to boost outbound tourism from China to Thailand next month or within the first quarter of next year at the latest. It is expected that China authorities will allow its citizens to travel overseas from the lunar new year holidays, he said, adding that Thailand hopes it is on the list of countries that China allows its citizens to travel to.

Popular Post keithkarmann Posted December 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2022 Great they started Covid, let the world cope and nearly cure it and now they want to bring it to Thailand to spread again. God only knows how many variants have developed in China while it has been closed to the World. Still bad in China as they have a very bad vaccine program with inferior vaccines. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't come......it will be Hell (again). Wishful thinking on my part perhaps, but I hope this does not happen. Frankly, I would rather have Covid restrictions than the Chinese mass tourists back. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post biggles45 Posted December 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2022 What a great idea, encourage mass tourism from China just as Cv19 outbreak is exploding there. No entry restrictions, just bring your money, what could possibly go wrong? 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are back and planning ahead. A house near me, on the market for years, has recently been sold to a Chinese buyer... apparently he plans to level the place and rebuild.... so effectively paid near asking price for the land only. There was Chinese interest picking up pre-Covid and it went away during the pandemic. I suspect they will be buying a lot of property over the next few years. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I think it is ineveatable at this point. But hardly anything new. I think Thailand will be better off with Chinese people buying up the land here for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Chinese buyers all through covid so they never really dried up but we'll definitely be seeing more of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking 6' tall poles with flags on top for the tour guides to hold and then red arm bands for the tourists on the tour. I will only charge them 34 baht, so mine will he the $1 tour. I will even give 1 room for 8 guests and 4 packages of mama noodles with a free coupon for the shrimp buffet all for the liw price of 25k THB per person.....of course they have to pay for their own flights and we will use the baht bus for transport.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
