And now they're coming? Seems as if all media have a serious truth-problem They were always coming.. CP Group executives on a mission. That mission will not be for smoking on Pattaya beach, riding a plastic dragon along the beach or watching elephants play football. It will most probably be some serious investment Gold shops, money exchanges, high class spa's, buying up guest houses, restaurants. Considering that the high speed railway direct from China will be opening, then Thailand needs to be ready to receive all the loot from the millions that will be flooding in. Unfortunately there is no need for Falangs no longer, unless you have thousands of dollars to donate to Thai insurance companies each year, better you go elsewhere. Sorry to say that, the big picture looks more like this as days go by. I honestly hope I'm wrong. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Thailand will be relying on Chinese tourists a great deal in the future. Western tourism has been on the wain for years now and China and India are the new mass tourism solutions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo53 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I will be surprised ìf this happens,and if it does,there has to be some BS behind it,now its Private Jets and Elite Card holders,probably coming through seperate arrival area's so that people cant check/see passenger flight arrivals on Tuesday from China,i wonder what the next straw will be from the Brains trust packet.

sead Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The text stopped at 120 so I thought 120000. So 120 bigspenders are going to save Thailand. Guess all 800,000 stores and hotels opening up just waiting for those 129 Chinese. The Thais are doing everything except opening up. They have adjusted the visa rules 200 times just hopeing some will be accepted so they can save face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percy P Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 4 hours ago, TSF said: Actually it's a positive step forward. Slowly opening up to selected countries and doing rapid covid tests upon arrival at the airport. My guess is in 2021 there will be lots more freeing up, allowing hassle-free entry to people from certain countries, who have been vaccinated and do a rapid covid test at the airport. It's the best we can hope for at the present time. Rightly so but the expats with investments, perhaps wife and children can't get back into the country. But the wealthy can't get at their money as it's invested. But it's a worrying time and hope everything work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogfish180 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I recently flew from BKK to Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh are probably receiving several hundred passengers per day. So if Cambodia can manage it, why can't Thailand. Oh, and the streets of Phnom Penh aren't littered with the corpses of dead Covid victims either! ????????????????

Unless Mr. P. gave Chairman Xi a phone call and asked him for a favour, it sounds like more of TAT's pipe dreams. it's not over until the fat lady sings.... meaning until they are physically Here I wouldn't believe anything TAT says, first was Oct 8, then Oct 26 now Oct 20 and as you said, TAT previously indicated that NOT 1 Chinese had applied for the STV. I do think this post/news it's just to distract us from the other news about Thai people manifestations against government going on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marley01 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The only $$$ that Thailand will see from these tourists is the $$$$ being paid to some official to allow the Chinese airlines, Chinese hotels, Chinese buses to operate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERMINATOR3AB Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I wonder if the Chinese 120 names are known ? (mmm....was 120 then 100 was 150 then 100 now 120 again) I feel if the tourist agents in China know nothing how is this working out ...brown envolopes? Private plane only 120 the cost each unbelievable I really think this is another foo foo However I like the lease and doggie bags post.... 3 years ago I saw a tour bus stop full of Chinese I was amazed to see 5-6 just get off bus walk to side of road and poop in the gutter as thougit was perfectly normal men and woman .....Really the Thai Gov love the Chinese they spend so much baht and show so much respect to Thailand ...as it is often joked at the seafood buffet they are total rude pigs sorry .....seen it true As for selected country ...China is on the bottom of the list with every other country on the planet ( Thailand has not had the virus yet as such only a small taste ) Good Luck Thailand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post apetryxx Posted October 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2020 This is so sick. What about the separated families, long time residents, folks who really have a need to run home for a variety of valid reasons then can’t come back without spending a fortune. But whoa, bring on the Chinese who started this whole mess! This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
