Not exactly tourists. Doesn't really matter. You're still comparing apples to apples when you are comparing 2022 or 2023 visitor statistics to, say, 2019--still the record year for visitors to Thailand. The counting system hasn't changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly tourists. How many days or nights does a person need to stay in order to qualify as a tourist, and why? Anyone who visits the country only for a few hours and spends money here for pleasure (rather than business) is a tourist, by any definition. "a person who is traveling or visiting a place for pleasure". https://www.google.com/search?q=define+tourist&rlz=1C1UEAD_enTH996TH996&oq=define+tourist&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQABgTGIAEMgkIAhAAGBMYgAQyCQgDEAAYExiABDIJCAQQABgTGIAEMgkIBRAAGBMYgAQyCQgGEAAYExiABDIJCAcQABgTGIAEMgkICBAAGBMYgAQyCQgJEAAYExiABNIBCTI4ODdqMWoxNagCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
