Tourism arrival numbers appear to have stabilised in Phuket during April after a drastic drop immediately after Songkran on the holiday island. Between February and the middle of April, the average tourist arrivals dropped around 20%. But from April 20 until the ned of the month there has been a welcome uptick in international arrivals which bodes well for the post-Songkran tourist traffic onto the island.

 

All through 2022, and especially in December and January, the tourism arrivals in Phuket have been steadily rising each month. 2022 was dominated by travellers from India and Malaysia, then from October it was Russian passengers arriving mostly on 45 day visa exemptions, a promotion the Thai government were running from October 2022 up the end of March 2023.

 

From April 1 – 26, the top 5 arrival demographics were…

 

• Russian – 56,583

• Chinese – 35,615

• Indian – 21,025

• Australian – 20,839

• UK – 15,773
