What is a domestic tourist? If I go shopping at the Makro in Hua Hin or Ratchaburi  am I a tourist? If I go a day to MegabangNa am I tourist?

From the headline: Number of domestic Thai tourists. Maybe you should visit Pattaya on a weekend in order to understand. The roads are a parking lot and they ain't non Thai tourists driving around in circles all day

Read the heading, read the article, 200 million domestic Thai travellers, not tourists!

 

When you consider the number of Thais who commute between towns/cities to work each day, the figure is not unreasonable.

Ok  Thai travelers . I read the article and the context and emphasis is most definitely on travelers  as  domestic tourists .Ie family trips up country. Not conflating commuters in the count. Also a count like this is counting the same Thai travelers over and over again every weekend

I just wonder how they find these numbers. I don't see people counting visitors at the roadside. I doubt whether all small Thai hotels participate in providing data. I cannot imagine roadside noodle stalls counting people.

I wish these people would reveal how exactly they counted Thai travelers.
