At 7 o'clock in the morning on the 9th, Ms. Ma finally returned to Chengdu from Thailand, and then sent a text message to inform the contact person of the travel agency that she had arrived safely. Prior to this, Ms. Ma and Mr. Zhong and her 10 tourists had just experienced an "escape": on the fifth night of their trip, they all "fled" back to Bangkok.

For this trip to Thailand, Ms Ma called it "Thailand". "The thrill and fear on the way can't be expressed in words." Mr. Zhong, a fellow tourist, described this journey as bad and hard.

10 people travel to Thailand with a group.

Contract: "voluntary shopping" and "no compulsory consumption"

For their honeymoon, Ms. Ma and her husband in Chengdu found Qianfeng Street Branch of Chongqing Youcheng Qunar International Travel Service Co., Ltd. (chenghua district, Chengdu) and reported a 7-day and 5-night tour to Thailand.

Ms. Ma and her husband traveled abroad for the first time. According to the contract she presented, the cost of this trip is 2 180 yuan per person, and the minimum number of people in the team is 30. They will join the group and fulfill the contract with Yingke Meichen International Travel Service Chengdu Branch. In addition, the land agency is a "New Glory Holiday".

Mr. Zhong and his lover in Chengdu signed a travel contract with Sichuan Gotone International Travel Service Co., Ltd. through Mawei website. The travel expenses are 2280 yuan per person, and the minimum number of people in the group is 15. The delegation will be sent to the Chengdu branch of Yingke Meichen International Travel Service to perform the contract.

"There are six people in the same industry. They signed the contract directly with Yingke Meichen International Travel Service Chengdu Branch. " Ms. Ma also showed the contracts of the remaining six people.

It is worth noting that Ms. Ma's contract says "voluntary shopping", Mr. Zhong's contract also says "no compulsory consumption", and the other six people's contracts also say "tourists can decide whether to participate in shopping activities".

On the evening of the 3rd, 1 1: 30, 10 The tourists set off with a tour leader and arrived in Bangkok, Thailand at 2 am the next day. At this time, they didn't expect that this journey would make people feel scared and threatened, and they had to "escape" by themselves. ...

The tour guide is fierce.

Yell "force you to do it" to tourists.

Scold the team leader for "taking a taxi back to Bangkok"

A group of people got on the bus and went to a hotel in Bangkok. A local male tour guide gave us a bad impression.

Ms. Ma recalled that the tour guide on the bus said in Chinese that "it was the first time to bring such a small group" and "he said that if it was fun, he would take the itinerary of the self-funded project he introduced." But at that time, everyone was very tired and sleepy, and no one was in charge of the tour guide.

Although there was not much deviation in the subsequent itinerary, the members of the tour group felt that the tour guide was not very friendly, and the tour of the scenic spots was also a cursory tour. On the other hand, because we felt that the quality of the hotel was average, on the third day, we found the tour leader to express our dissatisfaction.

For everyone's reaction, the tour leader said that "smart tourists all know to have a good relationship with the tour guide" and "cooperate and support the work of the tour guide". In desperation, Ms. Ma and her husband, Mr. Liang, found a tour guide and "added some self-funded projects."

May 7th is the fifth day of the trip, and there is a shopping spot "Latex Center" on that day.

"It took about 2 hours and only one person bought a pillow." Ms. Ma recalled that everyone asked to get on the bus at that time. "The tour guide said that the car didn't come and the car was outside." Later, through the coordination of the team leader, everyone got on the bus.

Unexpectedly, after the car started, the tour guide began to become "extremely vicious".

From the videos provided by tourists, the reporter noticed that the tour guide looked at the tourists in the first row, holding a microphone and shouting in slightly fluent Mandarin: "Push until you succeed", "I don't believe you China people need to push" and "In a word, push until you succeed".

The man's remarks aroused the dissatisfaction of the team leader. After the tour guide said "Who told you to talk like that", the tour guide began to "get angry".

In the video, the tour guide pointed to the direction of the car door and yelled at the leader: "Otherwise, you can get off directly!" Then he shouted, "Don't get on the bus tomorrow morning! Take a taxi back to Bangkok! " After learning that the tour leader was going to report to the group travel agency, the man said, "It's no use complaining a hundred times" and muttered, "Don't China people have to force?"

Trip to Thailand

Worried about personal safety and "compulsory consumption"

10 tourists fled to Thailand late at night.

During the trip, some comments made by the tour guide made Mr. Zhong of the tour group feel a little scared after returning to Chengdu.

"He is very obscure, repeatedly saying that Thailand's public security is not good and the police are not efficient." Coupled with the performance of the tour guide on the bus on the afternoon of the 7 th, "everyone is worried about personal safety and dare not take us to spend the next day."

At about 5 pm on the 7th, the bus took the tourists to the hotel. "At that time, everyone had the idea of' running away'." Mr. Liang said that it was not until dinner that they observed the route and decided to run with their luggage. "At first, we were not going to take our luggage, and our documents were all on us."

"After dinner, everyone is trying to find a bus to Bangkok." A bus was finally confirmed. At 8 o'clock in the evening, 10 people quietly came to the first floor of the hotel with their luggage. "The front desk informed the tour guide after seeing it."

Mr. Liang recalled that at that time, everyone had to let the ladies in the group get on the bus first and go first, leaving them three men to deal with the arriving tour guide. "We asked for a taxi while running in front, and the tour guide chased after us on a motorcycle."

I finally got into a taxi and got rid of the guide. "The three of us changed cars, then contacted the ladies in the group and ran to see them." It was not until after 1 in the morning that 10 people arrived in Bangkok. "I found a hotel to stay at my own expense."

The reporter noticed that after the incident, the tour guide said in the group that if there were no tourists at 9: 30 the next morning, he would inform the Thai police, the China Embassy and Consulate in Thailand and the customs.

"We don't trust them anymore." Mr. Liang said that he proposed to meet directly at Bangkok airport the next day, "but I can't see the tour guide again."

At about 17 pm on the 8th, 10 tourists joined the tour leader at the duty-free center near the airport. 1 1 people flew home at 3: 00 am on the 9th as planned.

Travel company:

A small thing in the industry

"Joining a delegation to Yingke Meichen International Travel Service Chengdu Branch is the operation mode of tourism. We are cooperating. "

The staff of Youcheng Qunar International Travel Service Co., Ltd. (chenghua district) Qianfeng Street Store and Sichuan Gotone International Travel Service Co., Ltd. all said so. As for the group without reaching the number of people who started the group, the staff of the latter said, "This is equivalent to a boutique group. In fact, we can not group. "

The staff of Qunar.com Qianfeng Street Store said that the tour guide claimed to be "forced" and actually asked for shopping, but she thought the tour guide's remarks were "scaring people". In response to the description of "voluntary shopping" in the contract, a person in charge of the store bluntly said that "the tour guide is at fault".

However, the staff of Sichuan Universal Travel Service thinks that "there is no compulsory consumption". "Did our guests pay?"

Regarding the behavior of tourists, the above two travel agencies proposed to "quit the group privately".

"I didn't sleep that night. I was informed by the person who acted as Yingke Meichen. I have been in contact that night and have never found a customer. " A staff member said.

On the afternoon of the 9th, the reporter also came to the Chengdu branch of Yingke Meichen International Travel Service, the organizer of this tour group, and the door number of "Xinyao Holiday" was also hung at the door of the company. After learning the reporter's purpose, a woman who claimed to be an employee said that she would not be interviewed.

In another independent office, the reporter saw a man. Although his business card is still in the office, the business card information shows that he is the legal representative of the company. The man still claims that he is not an employee of the company.

"This is a trivial matter in the industry."

The man claimed that "this matter has been handled" and the tour guide in the incident "has been opened". Later, he said, "No interviews" and closed the door of the company and shut the reporter out.

"Things have happened. Fortunately, everyone returned home safely. We now hope to get compensation. " Ms. Ma said.
