According to a number of Thai media sources, on April 23, Thai Prime Minister and Finance Minister Saita said in an interview with media reporters after a cabinet meeting on the invasion of Chinese low-cost tour groups into the Thai market that he had been informed of the matter and ordered an investigation.
Not only that, but the investigation will also cover all foreigners who come to live in Thailand and engage in inappropriate businesses, Saita said. For example, last Sunday, he went to Phuket Province to talk with local customs officers, and took the opportunity to emphasize the need to act in accordance with the law and cooperate with the Immigration Department and the Tourist Police Department to speed up the inspection and handling of illegal tourism enterprises. Despite this, there are many tourism companies that are law-abiding and do not want this to affect the overall image of Thailand.
In addition, Saita added that in this matter, foreign tourists coming to Thailand need to shop, eat and spend, and most of the hotels are run by Thais, and it is believed that only 1-2% have problems, but even then there are inspections to ensure that everything is carried out in accordance with the law.
