Lost and found in Thailand

For me, and many Chinese people, the 2012 comedy movie Lost in Thailand was a wonderful introduction to the country. The film grossed more than 1.2 billion yuan ($181 million) at the Chinese box office, becoming the highest-grossing movie ever in the country, according to reports in the Beijing News.

The movie also served as a springboard for Chinese tourism to Thailand. Last year, the number of Chinese visitors to the "Land of Smiles" was 8.77 million, almost four times higher than in 2012.

Indeed, the country is all smiles to Chinese visitors.
