TLDR : Answer Summary
The article refers to a situation where no applications for Thailand's special tourist visa were received from Guangzhou. Comments express skepticism about the Thai government's tourist policies, criticizing the conditions and expenses associated with the visa, highlighting a general lack of interest from potential tourists due to stringent quarantine regulations and perceived costs.

If the Thai govement were to open up to Europeans with the promise of a long stay visa with the 14 day quarantine but not all the other hoops and expense I’m sure many would take them up on it. I would sacrifice 14 days and a reasonable expense to have 6 or 7 months in Thailand.

To the Chinese who have endure the CCP version of lockdown and forced quarantine ... they are not going to volunteer for that under any circumstance... the quarantines were no joke there... even if they offered them free trips with the only stipulation is that they need to quarantine... their home experience comes to mind and they would say thanks but no thanks...

Chinese are not stupid! They can count their money and understand that what Thai government calls a “new tourism program” is just a silly scam!

clever enough to know that chinese do require and qualify for a 15-day visa on arrival. Where as you would qualify for a 30 day and you are neither asian not asean.
