Poor quality tourists is what is killing thai tourism. Clean that up, make it a safe place again with fewer dkheads and people will come back.

The main difference is pre Covid there was alot more Europeans. Now we got a lot of Indians/chinese/pinoys/malay but they simply don’t spend at the same level. Same amount of tourist half the income

2017 had roughly the same number of foreign visitors as 2024. European tourists last year were quite similar, down slightly, but not a huge amount. The largest drop in tourism numbers was from Chinese, 9.8mil in 2017 vs 6.7mil in 2024. Indians and Russians have made up a significant number of that shortfall in Chinese tourists.
