Thai Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered concerned agencies to speed up restoring the confidence of Chinese tourists after a mainland visitor was assaulted by a security guard at Don Mueang International Airport. Prayut’s instruction came after a video clip from Thursday at Bangkok’s Don Mueang airport, showing a guard briefly scuffling with and then hitting a Chinese man, received wide coverage in Chinese media. The number of Chinese tourists dropped sharply after a boat accident in Phuket, which claimed nearly 50 lives in July. The Chinese man tried to evade the punch before another airport security guard tried to calm the situation. - AFPRelated story:At least one Chinese tourist dead as boat bursts into flames in Krabi
