Why would this attract more quality Chinese tourists? Is there such a thing anyway? 99% of the chinese that come do not spend money when here except for shopping things that are cheaper than in their own country. 

They rarely eat local foods or shop in local stores. 

 

I would guess it is because of the sheer numbers showing the Chinese how unsafe and risky Thailand is to come to.

 

 

Perhaps you are mistaken. Last month it was in all the news that the Chinese were travelling to Japan more than Thailand now and was their top choice in destinations.

"I would guess it is because of the sheer numbers showing the Chinese how unsafe and risky Thailand is to come to," but these recent scam centres are mainly in Myanmar, and why would any tourists be concerned about scam centres... I can understand the number of scams, in Thailand, but they have known about these for years.

Probably because most of these people were recruited and are returning through Thailand. My friend who works in China has told me that the social apps are booming with rhetoric based on this against Thailand or Thai people. Not Myanmar. He also says he knows and talks to many that hae cancelled plans to come to Thailand for holiday based on these fears discussed in their social apps.

Seems the seasonal nazi regime is about to kick off again too: national crackdown on vapes, more foreign business owner being robbed of their business because it is suddenly a illegal 'nominee' thing, talking already again to reduce the 60 days to 30 days and so the list goes on.

Mean while zero of actual issues have been resolved by the wonderful unelected government. These people really want to stay stuck in life. Same with this entire tax chaos, like NOTHING has been cleared up 100% while we are in the second freaking year of it already.

 

Same with the cannabis sector, zero has been resolved in terms of setting it up properly (to be sure weed is clean, licensed, taxed etc). It's the same with essentially anything you mention: healthcare, education, pension plans, social plans etc etc etc etc.

They have to be the most incompetent people with a lot money for a country, in the world.

A boyish incompetent comment. Just Gibberish. Very sad. No knowledge, no education. 😕

The nominee thingy is not sudden, that loophole has been around for decades. Not sure I understand the rest of your rant.

Regarding Chinese visitors to Thailand, their peak time would be around their New Year holidays: lunar new years.

And when it is over, they usually started to go home.

In the apartment I live in, the same happening. several rooms were checked out this morning(used to be occupied by mainland Chinese).

Nothing unusual though...

What I find here in Phuket a lot of Chinese come in the low season, especially the independent travelers,
