A video of a Thai tricycle taxi driver watching the Chinese drama "Wild Race" went viral on social media, sparking discussions about the popularity of Chinese movies and TV series overseas.
Recently, a Chinese tourist posted a video of him watching 39 episodes of the anti-corruption drama "Crazy" on a small screen on a tricycle in Thailand. "Not only this time, but I have also found many times that many taxi drivers broadcast the TV series in their taxis in order to attract Chinese customers."
The video quickly sparked a lot of discussion on China's Sina Weibo and topped the hot list.
After the epidemic in the past three years, China has begun to travel around and see the scenery.
Warm welcome from Thailand!
According to a recent report by Chinese online booking platform Ctrip, outbound travel bookings increased by 640% during the Spring Festival compared to the same period in 2022, with Southeast Asian countries becoming the preferred destination.
The report pointed out that Thailand is the most popular destination for Chinese tourists and is one of the top destinations for Chinese tourists to travel abroad. In 2019, more than 10 million Chinese tourists visited Thailand. So far in 2023, nearly half of Chinese outbound tourists have gone to Thailand.
But more importantly, it also shows the vigorous development of Chinese films and TV series overseas. This is not the first time tourists have watched Chinese TV dramas in Thai drivers' taxis.
For example, "Meteor Garden", "Chen Qingling", "Douluo Continent", "Mountains and Seas" (a TV series reflecting China's poverty alleviation)
It can be seen that Chinese film and television dramas are very popular.
