(Bangkok French New Dian) Chinese selling movies appear to be abducted and rumored on social media, making Thailand loved by Chinese tourists a dangerous illegal activity and dirty fraud gang.More than more Chinese tourists are prohibitive to Thailand.
Before crown disease, more than 10 million Chinese tourists received each year in Thailand, but since 2023, there are only 2.3 million Chinese tourists in Thailand. Thailand's struggling tourism recovery has been hit.

The desperate Chinese film in early August claimed that based on real events, it tells a story of a computer programmer who was trafficking to an unknown country that is very similar to Thailand and fell into a violent fraud organization in Southeast Asia.
This movie has a certain real foundation.A large number of Chinese and other media have reported a large number of Chinese people who have been deceived in Southeast Asia (mainly in Myanmar and Cambodia) fraud bases for cyber fraud to deceive the victims of huge money.However, most of the deceived people were deceived by false high salary work, rather than being taken away from the street during vacation.

The Chairman of the Thai Travel Agency Sitti Vachar said that the negative remarks on the Internet are one of the reasons for the decrease in Chinese tourists.
He said: "Things did not happen in Thailand, but Thailand was stared at."

Cambodia is even worse.Chairman of the Cambodian Travel Agency Association, Chaosin, said that her company has not received a Chinese travel group so far this year, and the feedback shows that many tourists are worried about security.
She said: "If the Chinese government provides help, we will soon usher in tourists because the Chinese listen to the government."

The employee of the travel agency Guo told reporters: "People are not willing to go abroad. People have a worry about traveling to Southeast Asia, that is, they may not go back."
