The number of Korean tourists visiting Thailand is projected to hit 1 million in the third quarter of this year, while the Korea Tourism Organization also wants to attract more Thai tourists via smart tourism products.

Tanes Petsuwan, deputy governor for Asia and the South Pacific at the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), said the revival of the Korean market is positive as Thailand has been gaining around 4,000-5,000 arrivals per day from Korea over the past two months, ranking it among the top five countries in terms of visitor arrivals.
