Is a Chinese Blockbuster Discouraging Travel to Thailand?
The Chinese blockbuster movie “No More Bets,” depicting real-life scams in Southeast Asia, might be causing some concern among Chinese tourists considering travel to Thailand. The film, successful in China, narrates a story about Chinese citizens tricked into illegal activities in an unnamed Southeast Asian country. While experts suggest it shouldn’t have a lasting impact on Chinese tourism to Thailand, there are concerns it could deter tourists, influenced by negative news. The movie’s success has triggered reactions in Cambodia and Myanmar, leading to a ban and complaints, respectively. Despite efforts to reassure tourists, Thailand has faced challenges, including a recent mass shooting and economic factors, possibly contributing to lower-than-expected Chinese arrivals. The Thai government aims to address concerns through measures like visa relaxations, but the situation underscores the complex interplay of media influence and real-world events on tourism.
