Thai officials removed over taking 'tips' from Chinese tourists

The Chinese make up about a quarter of Thailand's 35 million tourist arrivals a year, making them the kingdom's largest visiting bloc by nationality.

They usually wait in long lines at busy immigration booths at Don Mueang -- one of the two international airports in Bangkok -- where they pay 2,000 baht (about S$83.90) for visas upon arrival.
