Did the TAT see what is happening in China with COVID-19?  I would not be so happy with all these Chinese coming to Thailand at the moment. But i don't expect China to allow them to travel.

Stirring the pot! Didn't those Europeans travel to China and return? 

Didn't the very first case in Thailand reported in December 2021, returning from China as early cases in the New York, California early Feb 2020. Both known for high volume of Chinese and Business travel to China.

Then you got all the recent lock down in China with their demonstration I wonder why with their first and great Sinovac. 

It had been reported believe it or not majority of Chinese haven't gotten the virus thus far short of herd immunity reason for their recent. 

Somehow I wouldn't trust anything from China,  maybe the leaders said to themselves world want to criticize us OK let's give the people what they want no lock down,  

Get ready for round two?

January 2020, first case of covid in  Thailand.

Have the Thai Chamber of Commerce been told something that the rest of us have not.

The CCP have so far only lifted Quarantine for Foreign arrivals AFAIK.

As always, dreaming of the Yellow Hoard to come galloping over the Hills to save the Economy.

Haven't you heard, the word 'yellow' is racist?????

Are they insane?!! Half a million a day going down with Covid, morgue packed with Chinese.  Vaccination resistance in China.  The high probability China is now an incubator of new strains!    Sounds like the opening scene of a horror movie heading for the gates of Thailand!!!

Well who cares about a bit of Covid, when there is an opportunity to make some easy money… ????

Apparently, the imported Pfizer vaccine will be used only to vaccinate expats, ie foreigners:

 

I have just read it, In the report I read that part was omitted that it was only for foreigners.

 

I bet one thing, clued up Chinese will be buying it on the black market.

 

Talk about ' completely refusing to accept reality ' what a government attitude, in the face of facts and evidence!

Look at the thread headline.... 5 million Chinese to visit Thailand 2023 

It should really say 'TAT hopes that up to 5 Million Chinese may possibly visit Thailand in the 365 days from 1st Jan 2023 to Dec 31st 2023'

Words we'll spoke. Yes....positive for Covid which is starting to rage out of control on Chona - now to be reintroduced to Thsiland.

You sure do pick your tourists Thailand and what great timing.

Could be worse. Could be hordes of the usual trashy Farang.......which is least comparable to ever vigilant Chinese. 

The anti-Farang sentiment requires readjusting and comprehended for what it truly is. 

Yes, but at least the majority of farang will have had effective vaccinations.

ok... a 4th booster shot won't matter...

If there's one way of restarting the pandemic worldwide it's to allow Chinese tourist to travel en masse. 

 

Governments worldwide, including Thailand, should not allow this to happen at this point in time. The WHO should step in if necessary.

 

But I doubt it'll happen.

expect it says all there is to say... wuth a lot of Covid in China nowadays

China has people dying all over the place,The hospitals can't cope and the mortuaries are over crowded. 

As there is no testing at airports for covid in Thailand I fear for the people in the cities.

crematoriums are over packed with a long waiting line but China's Health spokesperson said they ONLY had 10 deaths and to make things more difficult to control they stopped providing daily infections updates.... long live Emperor Xi

 

(Sarcasm intended)

This is too funny by far. We're at a pivot point where the, "it's a minor disease like the flu" crowd have given way to the, "if the Chinese are allowed to travel they will spread covid and we'll all get sick and die" crowd. Prizes for spotting any members in both crowds at the same time. No, of course  you don't need to wear masks, not unless the Chinese arrive that is!

Some reality needed in this thread. 

 

This is nothing at all to do with Covid. Forget about that, it doesn't matter. 

 

It's about Chinese tourists coming back to Thailand. Like it or not, they'll be flooding in within 6 months- Covid is not a factor for that. 

 

 

 

 

"He said that the decision of China would have positive impacts on Thailand and all sectors of the Thai economy".

 

Very negative impacts would more likely be the case with untold millions dying from Covid in china, due to the crazy mass lockdowns.

Just goes to show how greed for money can control STUPID.

I'm getting a sore throat and a runny nose just thinking about it! ????

100% correct ! ... I've been lobbying my local TD (MP) here in Dublin to put restrictions back in place for travelers from China due to their mass infection rate and ...( i didn't actually say this..but we know)...their complete disregard fir anyone's personal space. 

That will be the "all you can eat" buffets closing down now.

Great idea.  Welcome them to put Thailand at risk for a worse Covid situation
