rooster59 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thai airports: International tourism taking off, domestic still on the runway Image: TNA Yearly reports from the Airports of Thailand (AOT) indicate a rise in airport use for international passengers but a drop for the domestic market. Figures for the twelve month period from October 2018 to September this year relate to passengers passing through the country's six main international airports: Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Hat Yai and Mae Fa Luang in Chiang Rai. Senior executive of the AOT Nitinai Sirisamatkarn said that 141 million passengers passed through the six airports an increase of 1.69% on the previous year. There were 84 million international passengers representing an increase of 4.42%. But domestic passengers were 57 million - 2.05% less than 2017-2018. The number of flights was 896,000 that meant a 2.41% increase overall. Of these 492,000 were international (up 6.44%) and 404,000 domestic (down 2.10%).

Roy Baht Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 This is just an incomplete summary of a Thai article. The Thai article notes that Chinese tourists are still the main foreigners traveling in and out of most Thai airports, followed by Indians, South Koreans and Japanese. It also notes a decline in Chinese tourists over the past 12 months. The decline in Chinese tourists is attributed to several factors, such as the slowdown of the Chinese economy, changing Chinese travel patterns and the strong Thai baht. Meanwhile, Indian tourists have increased over the past 12 moths, which is attributed to the recent granting of visa on arrival to Indian tourists.

thenewgoo Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I'm guessing the figures for arrivals are lower than the figures for departures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1duckyboy Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sunday morning, 10:00 a.m., short lines at immigration, I was the only one in the priority area. Taxi and bus pick up floor, (2?) was almost deserted except for around the 389 buses to Pattaya and Hua Hin and the cafeteria. Saw only one Chinese tour group during 90 minutes on the second floor. Overall, quieter than I've ever seen it in 13 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
