Chinese VIP tourist services advertised online damage Thailand's reputation and trust

(CTN NEWS) – Chinese tourists’ actions in Thailand tend to go beyond merely seeking rest and leisure, which is a problem for Thai authorities given the new online world where covert services may be offered affordably and effectively.

When visiting the kingdom, many Chinese visitors desire to open bank accounts, have IVF treatments, or enjoy the vicarious thrills of VIP experiences catered to by ambitious Thais looking to make a profit.

It appears that three police officers involved in providing a VIP service to an incoming Chinese tourist party, including fast-track immigration clearance and a police escort service to Pattaya, will not face serious legal consequences though they will face disciplinary proceedings.

This is despite growing public outrage this week that prompted statements from Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha and Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.

As a result of the scandal, the head of the tourism industry has called on the government to address online advertising in China.

He has revealed that besides being offered at all international airports in Thailand, these services include opening bank accounts, IVF services, and other personal services for Chinese tourists.

The tourism chief expressed concern that travelers’ faith in Thailand’s security had been “tremendously weakened” due to the situation.

According to Mr. Sisadiwat Cheewaratanaporn, the president of the Association of Thai Travel Agents, such services were still being marketed on well-known Chinese retail websites this week.
