Thailand has become a tourism paradise for Chinese travellers as they are coming to the Land of Smiles in sharply increasing numbers.
In the first nine months of this year, the number of Chinese arriving in Thailand reached 3.74 million, a 93% jump year-on-year, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

The sharp increase in Chinese arrivals is attributed partly to the success of the Chinese film "Lost in Thailand" which came out last year. The movie was shot in many locations in the North including Chiang Mai.


Some reports say the government is considering waiving visa fees for the Chinese to make Thailand even more attractive. However, I don't think it's a good idea. Are we ready to receive more Chinese tourists? I am not so sure about that. I have several reasons to support my argument.
