This Spring Festival, the number of Chinese tourists to Thailand has increased rather than decreased

Although the previous Wang Xing incident cast a shadow on Thai tourism, many netizens cancelled their trips to Thailand due to security concerns. However, this Spring Festival, the number of Chinese tourists to Thailand unexpectedly increased rather than decreased, which seems to "hit the face" of those who think that Chinese people will have a long memory and no longer go to Thailand.

During the Spring Festival, the number of Chinese tourists entering Thailand in a single day exceeded 20000, a significant increase from the usual level. Faced with this "strange" phenomenon, some people have expressed that they will not give up their travel plans due to individual cases, and it is important to prepare a good travel plan and pay attention to their own safety.

The Thai side also seems to have realized this and is actively calling out to Chinese tourists, vigorously reshaping the image of the tourism country, and trying to regain the confidence lost due to the Wang Xing incident. However, there are still netizens who hold a wait-and-see attitude, believing that the reason why Chinese tourists are "forced" to go to Thailand is simply because it is too difficult to refund tickets for plane drinks and tour groups.

According to statistics, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand in 2024 is the highest, reaching 6.7 million. If the number of Chinese tourists sharply decreases, it will have an immeasurable impact on the Thai economy. Therefore, the Thai government's attitude towards Chinese tourists can be described as both tense and important.
