As Thailand cracks down on foreigners, a tourist paradise reconsiders its welcome随着泰国加大对外国人的管控力度,这个旅游天堂重新审视其欢迎外国人的态度。
Locals say a surge in internationally run businesses and land ownership is reshaping it beyond recognition, breeding resentment toward foreigners.

PHNOM PENH/BANGKOK (Bloomberg): As tourists step off the pier on Thailand’s Koh Phangan island, they’re greeted by a sales pitch tailored to outsiders - billboards touting luxury beachfront plots or clifftop villas as high-yield investments, a message repeated along the palm-fringed roads winding up into the hills.
This tiny tropical island of fewer than 10,000 is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Southeast Asia, welcoming more than one million overseas visitors a year. But locals say a surge in internationally run businesses and land ownership is reshaping it beyond recognition, breeding resentment toward some foreigners that has spread across the country.

金边/曼谷(彭博社):当游客走下泰国帕岸岛的码头时,迎接他们的是专为外来游客量身定制的推销——广告牌上吹嘘着豪华海滨地块或悬崖别墅是高收益投资,沿着棕榈树环绕、蜿蜒上山的道路,这样的信息不断重复出现。
这个人口不足一万的小岛是东南亚最热门的旅游目的地之一,每年接待超过一百万海外游客。但当地居民表示,国际企业和土地所有权的激增正在彻底改变这个岛屿的面貌,也引发了民众对部分外国人的不满,这种不满情绪已经蔓延至全国。
