The travelers are among the first to leave China in groups after it included Thailand among 20 destinations for such tours.

Senior Thai government officials and Chinese diplomats lined up at a Bangkok airport on Monday morning to receive the first two groups of about 20 tourists each from Guangzhou. The visitors have a six-day itinerary that will span Bangkok and beyond and take them to popular tourist destinations from temples to beaches.

Chinese were the largest group of visitors to Thailand before the pandemic, accounting for about 28% of the record 40 million foreign arrivals in 2019.
