Well, that says all.

The billions of Chinese high spenders will not be able to come at all.

Bring them by boat over the Mekong in a special bubble boat.

Yes but the initial tourists (proxy buyers) have already landed and I think that was the real objective, not tourism. Smoke and Mirrors and non truths as this government is so addicted to do.. China can now start buying up Thailand.

You are so correct.......Chinese economy rising, Thailand on its knees.

 

Property prices, in particular, are going crash over the next 6 to 12 months and the Chinese will make a killing.

 

Thailand is, after all, almost a dependency now.

True......and we have to sit back and listen to Tory lies that stopping 15 million travelers to Heathrow would have not had any effect on the spread of the virus....unbelievable.

cdc released data today in which they state that in little than 15 min. you can pass this on so air travel would be risky business indeed..

Anutin and TAT, you <deleted> up again !

How so...this is a Chinese government decision...nothing to do with TAT or Anutin, and applies for travel to all countries.

For all we know, maybe those 39 people are fake Chinese Thais form Yaowarat in Bkk putting up a show and play for the public, i'll believe anything that those guys will do to prove a point...

They are not your el cheapo Chinese group tour people.....these are all wealthy Chinese with urgent business reasons to be here.....no tourist in their right mind would actually want a STV.

I think you are entirely correct. It's rather suspicious that China won't allow tours out of the country yet 40 Chinese were supposed to have arrived here on STV this week. So is independant travel out of China allowed and just big group tours blocked? Not clear. 

My belief is that these so called "tourists" are connected at both ends with Chinese and Thai government and the STV is just a ruse to get them in under false pretenses so they can go about their "business" without attracting proper attention or raising real questions.

I have a feeling that they are not true tourists, but part of possible diplomatic staff change for the Embassy and Consulate China has here.  They probably have come to quarantine and then have a small vacation at the beach before they step into their new roles, and replace the existing staff, who will rotate back home or elsewhere.  Just my humble opinion, as it is about the right numbers for an annual swap out.

On that note, they could quite easily be the advance Exec group that will administrate Great Wall Motor Company's recent acquisition of General Motors operation in Thailand. They certainly ain't tourists.

I rarely believe social media posts.  From what I read, they will be in quarantine for 14 days.  But...we know that rule has been broken before.

Anutin has already said it might be reduced to 10 or none,I suspect for this group it maybe reduced to none as on a case by case basis.

Luckily, he's not the one making the final decisions.  Doesn't seem to be a very sharp guy....

 

From what I've read, there's a medical panel involved and they are the ones who've been calling the shots.  But, we'll see!  Ya just never know here...LOL
