North remains top destination for Chinese tourists

CHIANG RAI, 29 July 2016 (NNT) – More local attractions in northern provinces have increased the number of Chinese-language signs around their properties, to inform Chinese tourists of the do’s and don’ts that are appropriate in public places.

A recent survey has found that more Chinese visitors are complying with the rules. In religious places, most Chinese visitors are observing the dress code. Those who arrive wearing improper clothing are willing to use sarongs provided by temple guardians.

Most Chinese tourists said they were impressed with the attractions of the North and would definitely come back. Regarding the anti-Chiang Mai sentiment among some mainlanders, they commented that those who boycott traveling to the North are in the minority.

Among popular tourist spots are Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara in Chiang Mai, and Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai. The latter attracts nearly 10,000 visitors, most of whom are Chinese, a day.

Meanwhile, renowned artist, Chalermchai Kositpipat who developed Wat Rong Khun urged relevant bodies to adjust to the current trends to strengthen the tourism industry.

10.000 paying tourists a day for just a temple.

That's even more then pattaya attracts a day i guess and they don't even pay there. They park the bus on beachroad, run around like wild chickens and go back in the bus.
