The French woman who tested positive on Samui was also referred to in some articles as a "tourist". Clearly neither of these women is actually a tourist, otherwise they couldn't have gotten to Thailand. I know it would come as a shock to many Thais that someone can be a foreigner here without being a tourist, but shouldn't journalists know better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
