Since January, Thailand has Received One Million Chinese Tourists
Thailand has welcomed one million Chinese tourists in the first four and a half months of 2023, according to a government official. This is a sign of recovery for the tourism sector, which was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2019, before the pandemic, Thailand received 11 million Chinese tourists, who accounted for 28% of the total foreign arrivals. In 2022, only 274,000 Chinese tourists visited Thailand, due to travel restrictions and quarantine measures.
The government spokesperson Anucha Burapachaisri said that the number of Chinese visitors is expected to reach five million by the end of the year, with a total spending of 446 billion baht ($13.18 billion). He added that this would boost the economy and create jobs for Thais.

Members of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) are concerned about the Move Forward party’s policy to increase the minimum wage to 450 baht/day.
The Move Forward Party’s proposal to increase the minimum wage to 450 baht per day has sparked mixed reactions from businesses and workers. While some see it as a way to boost the purchasing power of low-income earners and stimulate the economy, others fear it will lead to higher costs, layoffs and closures of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
According to Move Forward, the current minimum wage is not enough to cover the basic needs of workers, especially in light of the rising cost of living and the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. The party argues that raising the minimum wage will boost domestic consumption, stimulate economic growth, and reduce social problems such as crime and drug abuse.
The party also cites international studies that show that increasing the minimum wage does not necessar…
