Nothing divides opinion in Thailand like Chinese vacationers today. For the past few months, The Thaiger has run extra stories about China and Chinese vacationers than some other topic.
Thailand’s public health minister says Chinese tourists won’t be discriminated against!
Thailand prepares to welcome the infected tide of Chinese tourists!
Chinese vacationers anticipated to flock again to Phuket and Chiang Mai!
Not much is expected from Thailand’s gold sales this Chinese New Year!
Chinese vacationers trickling in after reopening!
From the feedback on revealed tales and the fixed stream of recent ones, it’s clear that Chinese tourists are hated, feared, loved, wanted, unwanted, necessary, irrelevant, coming quickly, not coming in any respect, infectious, impolite, wealthy, healthy and miserly. They “flood in” as much as they “trickle.”
There is at all times another dimension, a new lie, an surprising truth. “Chinese vacationers in Thailand” is the story that retains on giving.
Today’s surprising melodrama comes from a posting in Chinese social media – no purpose there to suppose authenticity – that tells the story of how a Chinese tourist was given a police escort to brush her and her mom from Suvarnabhumi International Airport to Pattaya. It’s a truly heartwarming means for the Royal Thai Police (RTP) to welcome our beloved (or much-hated) Chinese friends (invaders).
In a move representing true state-of the-art policing, top cop Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas was stimulated into decisive motion after viewing a video clip posted on TikTok. Damrongsak has ordered an investigation into claims by the Chinese tourist that she received “special services” from Thai police.
The girl was on a visit to Pattaya – goodness solely knows why – together with her mother.
So simply what sort of “special services” does the RTP provide in Pattaya? Strict self-discipline, at the very least, one would hope, and clearly there is the uniform thing. And the torture.
While booking transport from Suvarnabhumi International Airport to Pattaya, says the young girl on the video, she was offered a police escort for a “small” extra cost.
There is no English translation of the video, however you get the purpose.
A police escort from the airport to the favored seaside resort apparently costs 7,000 baht (US$215) for a automotive and 6,000 baht for a motorcycle. Classified baht.
Damrongsak has ordered an investigation to search out out if the folks in the video clip are real Thai police officers and he needs the outcomes on his desk pronto! Perhaps he wants to recruit them?
“I had never seen something like this so I decided to try the service,” explains the lovable little girl. She seems to have been delighted by the service, as can be many others. It’s a pink letter, gold star, blue riband service which will surely please all guests to the dominion.
Damrongsak could be wrong to place an end to the entrepreneurial spirit of his loyal males. And nowadays, this may be the only method you can get to your resort in Pattaya without being punched by a Russian or robbed by a ladyboy..
