Suvarnabhumi is a hub for the ASEAN region and a lot of people travel on to Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia. In fact almost everyone I know who arrived in BKK in the last couple of years did that! So increase in BKK arrivals does not translate into an increase in tourists in Koh Samui, Chang Mai, Pattaya or Hua Hin etc. The real picture should be Hotel occupancy or similar. I don't have statistics, but anecdotally, the picture is not good! Given all the other restrictions, I don't see the picture changing soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
