What do you think of the incident of Chinese tourists being robbed by armed men in Thailand?

I think the fact that Chinese tourists were burglarized in Thailand needs to be taken seriously. The robbers must be caught and the key culprits of the whole thing must be found.

On the night of September 7th in Thailand, a Chinese tourist in Pattaya, Thailand, was invaded and robbed by five armed men. The victim said that the five armed men tied him up, held him at gunpoint, and asked him to open the safe. Finally, they took away cash worth 10 million baht, equivalent to RMB 2.17 million, and many valuables. After looting, they just slipped out the back door. It was not until the driver returned home that he discovered he had been robbed before calling the police. Because Chinese tourists do not speak Thai, the police have many difficulties in investigating this matter. They have hired a translator and are collecting evidence.

Many netizens speculated that the five armed men may have colluded with local officials, otherwise they would not have committed such a familiar crime. Regardless of whether this conjecture is true, we will all be worried about the social security situation in Thailand, which will also prevent tourists from traveling to Thailand and is not conducive to the development of Thailand's tourism industry. The home invasion and robbery by armed men not only frightened foreign tourists, but also made the Thai people panic.

So this matter must be investigated strictly, not only to allow foreigners to travel with peace of mind, but also for the sake of Thailand’s social stability. Now is the era of developed Internet. Unlike in the past, some events were unknown due to lack of information. Whatever is happening around the world, you can travel around the world with just a mobile phone. From the perspective of maintaining Thailand’s image, the Thai government must also pay attention to it.

Another important point in this matter is that these five robbers are not ordinary robbers, but armed personnel who have undergone professional training. Where are they from? Did you organize it yourself? Is there someone behind the scenes? Employed by someone? These are all questions.

People must pay special attention to safety when abroad, especially now because of the epidemic, foreign countries are not yet completely safe, so we must be more cautious.
