BEIJING (NNT) - The Thai Prime Minister, Srettha Thavisin, addressed the audience at the signing ceremony of the Letter of Intent (LOI) on tourism cooperation between the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and 8 prominent Chinese partners.

 

The aim was to foster continued collaboration between Thailand and China, with the Prime Minister highlighting the deep-rooted relationship between the peoples of China and Thailand, often encapsulated by the saying ’????? (Zhong Tai Yijia Chin)’ or ’China-Thailand are not far apart, we are siblings.’

 

Furthermore, the Thai government is endeavoring to facilitate Chinese tourists by offering a Visa Free program, with the goal of promoting travel between the two countries.

 

The Prime Minister expressed hope that this collaborative effort would fulfill the objectives of all stakeholders, resulting in mutual benefits, an elevation in the development of the tourism industry, and a sustainable increase in tourism revenue for both nations.

 

The 8 leading Chinese partners who signed the agreement include Huawei, Ctrip, Meituan, Alipay, Spring Airline, Sina News Agency, iQIYI, and JekoTrip.

We're siblings. We were the first country outside of China to import your Covid virus, and we've kept its memory alive by many still donning masks all the time. That has to mean something.

Seems about right. From my limited experience most Thais are ripped off by their siblings.

Such fealty. I guess one could have expected Sretta to bow down to big business. China is NOT the one you want to get closer to. The CCP are nothing but trouble, their intentions are heinous, and they do not wear their power with a shred of grace. Sretta is too worried about being loyal to his masters.
