Foreign tourist arrivals could reach 8 million this year after recording higher numbers over the past few months, says the governor of the Bank of Thailand.

The number of foreign travellers entering Thailand has risen to around 30,000 per day. If the increase in numbers continues until the end of this year, international tourist arrivals for 2022 could reach 8 million, higher than the central bank's forecast of 6 million, Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, governor of the Bank of Thailand, said yesterday at a seminar on the economic outlook in the South.
