Thailand is a well-known tourist country, and many people who like to travel on the mainland will also regard Thailand as the first stop for national tourism. First of all, because the price of traveling to Thailand is not high, and there are many tourist attractions. However, recently there has been news on the Internet that Thailand is not safe to travel, and even some netizens said that Thailand after the epidemic is really not safe, not only will they keep asking for tips, but even the police there may blackmail tourists, and then ask tourists for money.

Recently, a Thai woman came forward to accuse her local police of kidnapping a male tourist from China and demanding nearly 200,000 yuan from the tourist. Her testimony has led to the arrest of three police officers, with one more at large. The Thai woman who came forward to accuse was a tour guide for a male Chinese tourist.

Later, after an in-depth investigation by the Thai side, it was found that the four police officers had violated local laws. But although there is sufficient evidence that they committed the crime, they refuse to admit what they have committed. And they may directly face the end of being expelled from the unit and then sentenced.

In fact, this is not the first time such a thing has happened in Thailand after the epidemic was released, and with many similar news reports, it has really had a serious impact on Thailand's tourism. Even the Thai government has come forward to clarify, saying that some news is not true, so that tourists should not believe it.

Thailand used to be called a good place for poor travel by Chinese netizens, but after three years of the epidemic, people have said that Thailand is no longer the place where you can travel for less money. Not only is the price of air tickets frighteningly high, but even the related costs such as taxi fares after landing have risen ridiculously, and some have even doubled.

After three years of the epidemic, when many Chinese who have not traveled abroad for a long time come to Thailand to travel, more people say that the price is too high, and it now costs several times more money to go to Thailand. Therefore, it is expected that in the future, the number of Chinese tourists traveling to Thailand will be greatly reduced.

Indeed, the price of traveling to Thailand is now somewhat high, and it used to cost only a few hundred baht to stay in a hotel, but now it costs thousands of dollars at every turn. A meal that originally only cost a few tens of baht is now worth hundreds of dollars, which is indeed a bit of a big increase, but the money is for tourists, and the beneficiaries are Thais. It is precisely because of this that more and more people feel that Thailand is no longer the good place to travel before, after all, most Chinese people think that spending money is a bit too much.

The main reason for this is that the three-year pandemic has caused significant damage to the economy of Thailand, a tourism-oriented country. Therefore, after the epidemic is released, Thai people will definitely hope to earn more money when they meet foreign tourists. Therefore, they have increased the accommodation fee, but also the cost of food and beverage. Although they feel that tourists may not complain about anything, when tourists are actually allowed to pay for it themselves, it can really cause bad behavior.

In short, Thailand is now not only expensive to travel, but also has certain safety problems. Therefore, remind the majority of Chinese people who want to travel to Thailand, must be mentally prepared, prepare sufficient expenses in advance, and at the same time, after landing, while playing, you must also pay attention to your personal safety!
