yes. tourists from china (including hong kong and taiwan) contributed 608,085,840,000 baht to the thai economy in 2019. what's so difficult to understand?

china couldn't care less whether their citizens are allowed to visit thailand or not.

chinese tourists contributed 600 billion baht to the thai economy in 2019.

what would be the point of keeping them out?

american/european fast food, carbonated drinks, alcohol, and cigarettes, kill thousands of times more people than covid. should all westerners be banned from entering thailand?
Oliver ********
makes sense on any reasonable assessment of risk and reward. those 6 countries have all had covid under control for a while already, and tourists from those countries contribute around 800 billion baht per year to the thai economy (of which 600 billion baht is from the chinese).

so true. politeness goes a long way here. i've seen so many westerners, like the guy you mentioned, losing their temper and just making things worse.
