Tourist police make video to encourage “Chinese family”
Facing a massive slump in tourism from China, the Tourist Police Bureau has produced a video for Chinese to boost the morale of people dealing with the Novel Coronavirus. The video has drawn plenty of praise and shares since being posted on social media yesterday.
Tourist Police Commissioner Chadtha Komonwattana says the bureau is deeply concerned about the virus situation, especially considering the long friendship between Thailand and China. He points out that the Chinese sent assistance and best wishes when much of Thailand was flooded in 2010.
The video features around 130 police officers saying in Mandarin “We hope the Chinese people overcome the crisis soon. We love Chinese people as members of our family. China, don’t give up. Wuhan, don’t give up.”
Chadtha said the message conveys the friendliness the two countries share.
“It matches our motto, ‘Your First Friend’, which means the tourist police are tourists’ best friends.”
