The government expects to net about 400 billion baht from a surge in foreign tourist arrivals in the second half as leisure travellers return to the country following the easing of most Covid curbs.
About 7.5 million international travellers are expected to travel to tourist hotspots such as Bangkok, Phuket and Koh Samui between July and December, a 1,840% jump from a year earlier, according to Rachada Dhnadirek, a deputy government spokeswoman. That will propel the full-year arrivals to 10 million, she said.
