The government plans an intensified tourism campaign and stepped up security to restore flagging Chinese confidence in Thailand after a Chinese actor was lured to a lawless area of Myanmar after flying to Thailand.

一名中国演员在飞往泰国后被诱骗到缅甸一个无法无天的地区，泰国政府计划加大旅游宣传力度，并加强安全措施，以恢复中国对泰国的信心。

她还指示警察局长确保有足够的旅游警察值班，以确保游客的安全。吉拉尤说，警察必须在危险地区巡逻，镇压有影响力的团伙的活动。

“The prime minister said that although the Chinese actor who went missing in Myanmar had been found, this incident affected Chinese tourists’ confidence,” the spokesman said.

发言人说：“总理说，虽然在缅甸失踪的中国演员已经找到，但这一事件影响了中国游客的信心。”
