Luckily , Thailand doesn't have Al Qaeda threat of suicide bombers attack like Islamic countries. So more tourists come , more monies come in Thailand.
"Bangkok's visitor numbers have been rising rapidly - largely thanks to Chinese tourists, it seems". No big deal.
So what if they're Chinese? They bring money to the nation.
You misunderstood what I meant. Yes, any tourist brings money to the country. But what I meant is tourists from Mainland Chinese as well as from ASEAN countries who visit Thailand do not stay too long in that city and are not big spenders, compared to tourists from European countries, and American and Japanese.
Overall, in terms of total number of tourists Bangkok may get a few thousands more tourists than say London, Paris and New York, but the latter cities got more money from each tourist.
Why No Vientiane Capital??? I am surprised.. Laos has just won world best tourist destination award this year
I just went to Vientiane last week. It did have a lot of European and American tourists but Bangkok still has more. Also in Laos, Luang Prabang attracts more tourists than Vietntiane.

So what? I think London and Paris will also get more money no matter what-- given that things are more expensive there. If you use American dollars in Thailand, you can get a lot of things. Food is extremely cheap for Western people.
