Maybe you are not familiar with historical tourist arrivals between now and mid December but this is LOW SEASON & soon to be WET SEASON. Currently many countries are experiencing economic downturns including China & Japan which will have a spill over effect on Thai visitor numbers!

November through March is Thailand's high season, with relatively dry weather and agreeable temperatures. This is a great time to enjoy the country's cultural and natural splendor.

I agree TAT need to start following the Chinese economy and realise it’s not booming like it was pre Covid.

ITs a whole new world and they are not inclined to travel nearly as much.  

The halcyon days are over.
