Freeloading Chinese.. ? whatever next ..
not bad looking van....
CHIANG RAI – The border town of Chiang Khong sits on the edge of Thailand, separated from Laos by the Mekong River.
Each year, thousands of Chinese vehicles pass through, some carrying produce trucked through Laos. Then there are Chinese tourists, conspicuous in their left-hand-drive sport utility vehicles as they traverse northern Thailand’s mountainous attractions.
This year, there has been a new sight: Chinese Campervans aka Motorhomes
Dozens of these mobile homes arrived during the Chinese New Year tourism crush last month.
They stirred up debate on Thai social media after pictures of them parked in seemingly inappropriate places like temples and curbsides were circulated online.
Sound familiar ?
With the arrival of campervans, some locals wonder if traffic woes will worsen without any compensating revenue for hotels and restaurants.
