    BANGKOK, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Thailand rolled back on Tuesday plans of joint patrols with Chinese police in popular tourist spots after public backlash.

    The plan, however, sparked uproar online, drawing criticism that it compromised national sovereignty, and a rebuke from the country’s police chief.

    “There are many alternative ways to build confidence for tourists in Thailand … but we will not have joint patrols,” Tourism Minister Sudawan Wangsuphakijkosol told reporters on Tuesday.

    “The Thai police force is already adequate and are working hard to restore confidence,” Sudawan said.

    Thai authorities have rushed to tighten security after last month’s shooting spree at a luxury mall in Bangkok in which two people, including one Chinese national, were killed, fanned safety concerns.

    Restoring confidence is critical for Thailand’s tourism industry, especially among Chinese visitors.
