According to the statistics of Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports on international visitors during the first six months of 2024 (from 1 January to 30 June), Thailand welcomed 17,501,283 foreign visitors. It could generate a high amount of revenue from their expenditure of approximately 825 billion baht (US$22.5 billion).
The top nationals traveling to Thailand were from China, Malaysia, India, South Korea, and Russia, respectively. The final week of June alone, when the Pride Month 2024 events were held in various areas of the country, attracted 659,830 foreign tourists, an increase from the previous week, with only 19,083 persons.
It is expected that more international travelers will visit Thailand in the rest of the year, thanks to many factors, such as the upcoming summer holidays in European countries and Lisa’s latest single and music video, “Rockstar,” which showed off Yaowarat Road in Bangkok’s Chinatown. (PRD)
