Indian tourists represent the most foreign arrivals in Thailand so far this year. 100,884 arrived between January 1st and May 24th, said Government Spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana yesterday (Sunday).

 

He said, however, that the Tourism Authority Thailand (TAT) will try to attract as many as 3,000 Indian tourists per month through pro-active tourism promotion and marketing campaigns and the opening of new direct flight serviceslinking Indian cities with Thai tourist destinations, such as Chiang Mai.

India was the third largest source of arrivals in 2019 after China and Malaysia. China is still closed and the land borders to Malaysia reopened very recently, so logical for India to climb to No 1.

Oh well. 

Guess we'll to wait for the influx of the usual trashy mix of Farang visitors [and residents as well].

That'll make everything quite ok, won't it.......

Oh. Has Thailand just annexed Burma? Must have missed that.

 

Yes, I also overlooked the great “Sea of Myanmar” which separates them. The key word was “overseas”.  Doesn’t qualify.

There are gangs of seemingly not very wealthy Indian 'men only', currently wandering about where we are in BKK......never seen them spending any money though......not too sure ordinary Thais, other than those employed in hotels, will benefit greatly.

Plenty of Indian families in Lumpini Park anyway
