Bangkok was also named this year’s Number One city in the world by Mastercard’s 2018 Global Destination Cities Index, the third consecutive year it has been ranked in the top spot.
TAT Governor YuthasakSupasorn said, "Bangkok is known the world over for its superb attractions, outstanding cuisine and gastronomical delights, excellent hospitality, friendly people, exemplary service standards, and exceptional shopping outlets.
Over the next few years, you will see even more positive changes and improvements in what is known as the "City of Life.”
Thailand’s blissful and spectacular beaches, tropical climate, misty mountains, diverse and fascinating culture, hospitable people, exotic cuisine, and world-class luxury hotels and resorts attract visitors and keep bringing them back, so much that it features among the most popular tourist destinations in Southeast Asia.
India is one of Thailand top ten sources of visitors and one of the clubs of countries that generate more than one million visitors a year.
From January to September 2018, 1.17 million Indian visitors travelled to Thailand, up by 12 percent over the same period of 2017. TAT is projecting 1.5 million arrivals from India in 2018.
Indian leisure travelers generally go shopping and sightseeing in Bangkok and Pattaya with an increasing number also heading to Phuket, Chiang Mai, KoSamui in SuratThani, Chiang Rai, Krabi, Ayutthaya, and Ko Chang in Trat.
