Speedboat to Koh Phi Phi explodes whilst packed with tourists

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

How will it affect Tourism is Cambodia, I wonder?

When a bomb goes off in Bangkok, the whole hub almost shuts down (or a Malaysian plane or the King of Thailand dies).

Will the Chinese continue, or shift to other places? Hmm ...
This is not the first boat accident and it won't be the last; none of these incidents have ever made a dent in tourist arrivals.

I mean, for the Chinese.

Perhaps bird flu, or sth like that.

Interesting, to see their tourist quirks.

What attracts them? What turns them away?

Like me? Bird flu doesn't scare me a bit.

But it might scare away whole groups!
Melvin Udall: Never, never, interrupt me, okay?

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.
