Chinese criminals ... operating in Thailand with the knowledge, collusion and frequently involvement of the RTP. Thousands of them living illegally on corruptly obtained visas from RTP Immigration ... same old same old ...

Once a favourite destination for Chinese tourists, Thailand is facing a tourism crisis due to social media rumours, and one particular blockbuster movie, that have created an image of danger and scams

It has nothing what-so-ever to with the above.

So what we are saying is the introduction of the Visa free policy was a waste of time, and would only result in those in no fear of crime to enter?

I can't find the article now but read recently about a huge Chinese tourist influx next week for their holiday  "golden week".  Looking forward to it.

there is no evidence of tourists being routinely abducted in Thailand.

 

There is no evidence that it is not happening also. The fact that is has happened more than once should be enough to show it happens here.. I have read of several abductions of chinese as well as trafficking them to another country to work or to be used for body parts in the past few years

Bad times are coming to the Chinese economy.  Being almost 100% focused on real estate as a means of preserving or increasing wealth for the average citizen is an "all your eggs in one basket" problem.

I keep seeing financial news about the China Economy slowing and the real estate companies failing along with manufacturing declining as possible reasons. There has been some abductions of Chinese so I can see some being concerned.
