Chinese tourists flooding in to Thailand’s north despite new regulations

Chinese tourists were pictured in great numbers at the famous temple of Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai yesterday.

Large numbers were flooding in for the long National Day holiday in China, reports Thairath.

This was despite two new regulations.

Chinese drivers are now prevented from using the nearby Friendship Bridge 4 to enter the country from Laos.

And at the temple itself all foreign visitors are now charged 50 baht to enter the main chapel.

Most of the visitors were Chinese on tour groups who had flown into the country.
