They forgot to mention that half of those criminals are Chinese and many of

crime activities are run by Chinese nationals. 

And the other half are RTP and Immigration officials.

organ harvesting at the hands of criminal gangs.

The Chinese would know about this first hand I expect.

Well, the organ harvesting is a domestic activity in China.

Maybe got the wrong countries:

 

A court in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has handed prison terms to eight people involved in a kidney trading ring that sent 37 Vietnamese to Cambodia as organ donors.

Thailand isn't safe for anyone breathing this cancer causing toxic air year after year.

Aqi is around 400 at Chiang Rai now and around 200 at Chiang Mai.  Besides politicians

getting cancer there is only 1 other thing they will listen to......

Thai officials in Bangkok and Beijing were scrambling on Thursday and Friday to contain a highly damaging viral campaign on Chinese social media actively discouraging people from visiting the kingdom. The sensational and outright false claims targeted potential Chinese holidaymakers.

Like being ripped off by taxi mafia

Like being ripped off by RTP

Like being extorted by Thai immigration... 

all false of course.

Both. The PRC is widely alleged to be a major harvester and trafficker of forcibly acquired organs. Available information indicates that Falun Gong practitioners have been the primary victims of this cruel practice, and there are now allegations that imprisoned Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities are also victims, based in part on accounts of mandatory medical testing in Xinjiang consistent with preparation for organ removal. Since 2015, Chinese authorities have claimed to only source organs from voluntary donors, but there are doubts as to the veracity of the claim. Data suggests that Chinese hospitals have performed many times more transplants than the highest estimates of ethically available donors can account for.

Thailand has sought to reassure Chinese travellers that the country is a safe holiday destination following widely circulated claims online about the risk of human trafficking.

The warnings are being aimed at the wrong demographics. 

They should be warning tourists of other countries that there are likely to be hordes of Chinese tourists in Thailand.

 

1998 I got a REALLY COOL (and Cute) tour guide-ess from Khon Kaen to show me around. She was registered at the G-Spot in Nana Plaza as an official tour guide (I swear it's the truth Guv'nor!!).

 

We wound up in Nong Nooch Hardons...err, Gardens and I had my first encounter with a Chinese tour group. They somehow got between me and my tour guide, and I felt like a rugby player trying to get thru that crowd..

 

I'm glad they didn't have the COVID.. I survived with just several bruised ribs and a bloody nose.

Lookalike the CCP scoring its citizens from travelling abroad incase they learn how the rest of the world actually is. This would weaken years of their xenophobic propaganda.

I hope this is a wake up call for Thailand so they are more cautious with future dealings with the CCP.

I agree with your protective sentiments.

It is with deep regret, and born of an abiding concern for the safety and welfare of our Chinese brethren, that I must add voice to the chorus of other well-wishers:

 

My Chinese brothers and sisters, please do not risk the existential threat that travel to Thailand poses; go anywhere else in the solar system, but make no landing in Thailand. ????

Apparently you are unaware of the health benefits of stewed bats and pickled duck feet.

 

I walked into a restaurant in Taiwan once & grabbed a tray of Kimchi....Pickled cabbage...not bad.

 

Actually it was pickled duck feet, and it was REALLY BAD.

 

I had no fork to stab it with, just chopsticks (couldn't tell it was rubber), and that was probably the most VILE thing my mouth ever tasted.

But if you do come- keep the bloody noise down!

Be interested to know the odds on being kidnapped or death on the road here. I doubt there are 25,000 kidnappings a year

real adults don't deflect so much. They address problems and move on. It is referred to as improvement. 

And there you have why Thailand is still such a primitive society and backward in so many ways. Deny deny deny there's a problem, or blame someone, anyone, else. For everything. It's the way little children behave, until they grow up and take responsibility.

[mberbae]

The recent news by thai immigration officials certainly did not help matters.

116 arrested so far ??

Not less but a whole lot more. Check out khaosod english today. Just google up Khaosod English Chinese Thai Real Estate Second Home.

[3STTW]

If anyone has orchestrated this, I would imagine that the Chinese businessmen and their investors who have just had their dodgy businesses shut down by the Thai authorities might be a good place to start.

 

They clearly have the means, motive and the money to launch a vendetta like this.

If I was in charge of China I would not want my citizens going to Thailand in case they got to like the herb too much. ????

They already have it in the West, they grow it for the seeds and Oil for their food and the hemp for ropes and things ... like pick the Tips of a half grown one, and Look out of the Villagers catch you ...

 

... And well back in 86 was it, the Comment from the Local cops when they caught us with some, which we said that we smoked !!! ... He rolled a spiff up .. Light up ... Coughed !!! ... pay and threw it down on the floor and stamped on it ... "You do not smoke that <deleted> do you" !!! (With you must be Crazy Implied ...

 

... And then back on to more Important issues like how we had gotten Hundreds of Kilometers past the Last legal Provincial border post for Tourists ... With out them seeing us.

 

... (Answer, get a Bus map in Chinese Compare it Geographically with an English one, so you know which busses are going where by their Chinese symbols that you can get off of the Chinese Bus map, ... and get the farmers to , as the bus was leaving. jump on, ... and keep your head down !!! ...)

 

... Though well that is all just another story I guess ....

 

Though, ... Dualism, the Town council and Bus people ... do the Town council commerce and welcoming people business ....  But Police just do the Police Business ... So if there are no Police at the Bus station !!! .... Well Good Luck Mate !!! ... and on you go ... and if soy get sent back, well then just turn off and go another way at the last bus station. .... Given not to many Police men are up at 8 am ! ? ...

raising fears of kidnapping, extortion

Errr, these acts are committed BY Chinese gangs operating in Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, etc. 

[rwill]

When you hear them talking about 'fake news' you know it is pretty close to the truth.

[kwilco]

My guess is that China is increasingly fearful of its citizens travelling abroad as the may encounter "the other side of the stroy" as promulgated by the government itself.

[ukrules]

Too much truth getting out lately?

Certainly, Chinese gangs seem very active in Thailand. No denying that. As they are in Cambodia as well.

The Chinese crooked casino runners have totally ruined the coast of Cambodia. Taken over the old port as well I hear, but have not personally seen., If the local people were poor before,now they are even poorer.
