In Bangkok, both Thai and foreign investors are reportedly buying entire floors in condominiums for short-term rentals, while Chinese investors have been purchasing nearly entire luxury housing projects and offering full-scale shuttle services for tourists.
THA urged the government to limit foreign property ownership and reconsider the length of stay permitted under visas to prevent economic imbalances.
Separately, Sisdivachr Cheewarattanaporn, President of the Thai Travel Agents Association, addressed growing opposition to Israeli tourists in Pai due to concerns over inappropriate behavior.
He called for stricter security checks to ensure travelers are genuine tourists and emphasized the importance of enforcing Thai laws.
With 10,000 Chinese tourists currently arriving daily, authorities expect the total number for 2025 to reach 6.7 million, similar to 2024, remarked Sisdivachr.
