PM Paetongtarn to Assure Xi Jinping of Chinese Tourists' Safety During Thailand Visit
In this photo released by Thailand's government spokesman office, Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra talks to a reporter during a news conference at the government house in Bangkok, Thailand, Monday, Jan. 13, 2025. (The Government Spokesman Office via AP) Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is poised to extend personal assurances to Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding the safety concerns of Chinese tourists. This significant diplomatic engagement is scheduled for next month, as part of an effort to sustain and expand the influx of Chinese visitors to Thailand, according to Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong. Thailand's ambitious target for 2023 is to welcome 9 million Chinese tourists, marking a 35% increase from the previous year's 6.7 million. Building confidence amongst these visitors is a top priority for the Thai government and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), particularly in the wake of recent high-profile cases that have raised safety concerns. Minister Sorawong highlighted on Tuesday that current efforts are not yet fully resonating across the myriad social media platforms frequented by Chinese nationals. In response, direct communication strategies are being reinforced, including collaborative efforts with the Chinese embassy to effectively convey reassurances. The ambassador has committed to aiding these communication endeavours. Recent incidents, such as the disappearance of Chinese actor Wang Xing near the Thai-Myanmar border earlier this month, have spotlighted vulnerabilities. The 31-year-old actor, who was safely repatriated to Thailand shortly after, is suspected to have been a victim of human trafficking, amplifying safety concerns among potential visitors. During the impending official visit to China, Prime Minister Shinawatra plans to address these concerns directly with President Xi, reaffirming Thailand's commitment to ensuring a secure environment for tourists. This diplomatic dialogue is crucial not only for mitigating immediate fears but also for bolstering long-term tourist confidence. Despite the recent safety scare, Minister Sorawong was keen to note that Chinese tourist numbers are on the rise. As of January 20, daily arrivals have averaged 22,000, surpassing the usual average of about 17,000. He remarked that cancellations predominantly involve first-time group tourists who are hesitant due to safety worries, whereas seasoned independent travellers remain largely unaffected. In further efforts, Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai urged cabinet colleagues to prioritize stringent security along border areas, targeting the operations of transnational criminal groups. Additionally, China has sought cooperation with ASEAN members to launch coordinated crackdowns on scam networks and expedite the rescue of their victims. Defence Minister Phumtham expressed optimism that these measures would rejuvenate confidence among Chinese tourists, ensuring a robust return to Thailand's welcoming shores. With the collective commitment of both nations, the outlook remains positive for achieving the year’s ambitious visitor targets, thereby boosting the Thai tourism sector and its economic contributions, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-01-22 -

Banged up: Thai prison nightmare exposed by British tourist
https://www.realclearworld.com/articles/2024/06/28/why_palestinians_are_not_welcomed_by_their_neighbors_1041068.html There, a source, just for you, so that you can calm down a bit. Seems like no country in the Middle East want anything to do with the Palestinians. But you find a few indicators that they are so good people I suppose.. ''Jordan’s King Abdullah II has little desire to accept refugees. There are already nearly 60 designated Palestinian refugee camps across the Middle East, including ten in Jordan with more than two million residents. Most of these camps were established in the 1950’s and 60’s and are now more like concrete slums than tent camps. Establishing massive new camps would be a financial and logistical nightmare. Further, Jordan already has a troubled relationship with Islamist movements, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood. Two decades after accepting 300,000 Palestinian refugees, King Hussein of Jordan expelled the Palestine Liberation Organization in September 1970 because of its escalating terrorist activities and an attempted coup. The Muslim Brotherhood continues to operate in Jordan and supports Hamas, and acts as a sort of fractured opposition party. Egypt also has a fraught history with Muslim extremism. Founded in 1928 in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has battled the secular Egyptian government for nearly a century, including its assassination of President Anwar Sadat in 1981. Hamas and ISIS have both carried out attacks on Egyptian soil, from murdering tourists in Cairo to terrorism in the Sinai Peninsula. There are no Palestinian refugee camps in Egypt, and President Al-Sisi will refuse to open camps and face the associated terrorism likely to emerge. The Muslim Brotherhood and the Palestinians are also unwelcome by other secular governments in the region, including Iran, Syria, Iraq, and the Saudis. Nobody wants to risk introducing a dangerous movement onto their own soil. Indeed, after decades of cynical support for Hamas and the PLO, regional leaders may have had enough. In 2020, the Trump Administration launched the Abraham Accords, normalizing relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, with Morocco soon joining and Sudan now pending."
