Popular Post webfact Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 National — Thailand received 21 million international tourists in the January to October 16th period this year, generating over 882 billion baht in tourism revenue. In an exact tally, the country recorded 21,019,800 foreign arrivals since the beginning of 2023. These arrivals pumped 882.45 billion baht into the economy, reported Minister of Tourism and Sports Sudawan Wangsuphakijkosol. Over the past week, there has been an increase in the number of European tourists by 6.71 percent, or an additional 5,227 people, compared to the previous week. This is attributed to the onset of the high travel season, along with airlines beginning to increase the number of flights for tourists from the European region. As of last week (October 9th – 15th), Thailand saw 470,299 international tourists or about 67,186 per day on average. This represents a 5.56-percent decrease from the previous week.

Popular Post jippytum Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 882 billion received from tourism and they are giving away 560 billion to every citizen over 16. Money the country can ill afford. Even with this huge bribe they still did not get a majority in the election. They promised this money two weeks before the polls as they feared losing to MFP and preventing the return of their de facto criminal leader. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will they learn, Tourists don't like to be seen as cash cows but I totally get why their focus is on MONEY! They would do better if they forgot about their trough and reported the increase in jobs for Thai people working in the Tourism sector, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuses or celebrations on these numbers? At the start of the year they stated a forecast range of between 24-30 million primarily due to the uncertainty of the level of Chinese recovery, so looking like they'll come in around the mid-point.

The same basis every country in the world uses whether your visits are 2 weeks apart or 3 trips spread over a year. You think any country back checks every person arriving to see whether it's their first visit in the year and reduce the figures accordingly ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every story on tourism gets reported because it's one of those topics people love to comment on, monthly factory output just wouldn't stir the same emotions.

I did once, I used the following, amongst other things, just click on the year you're interested in: https://investor.airportthai.co.th/transport.html Forgot to say....you have to add in the non-AOT airports and passenger traffic but exclude land border crossings. I got very very close to one set of numbers issued by TAT, that convinced me they were legit. Edited October 20, 2023 by Mike Lister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve73 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 67 thousand arrival per day is around 200 international flight arrivals per day (of 333 pax per flight). Is there really this number of flights into T/L every day...? I guess so if TAT figures are true... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
