Over the first five months of 2018, Thailand welcomed 16.4 million visitors. Tourists primarily came from China, Malaysia, India, and Russia.
The Thai Ministry of Tourism and Sports projects steady growth in foreign arrivals during upcoming months due to economic stability and stronger international relationships with the EU, the USA, and Japan.
During a recent visit to France, Thai Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha and French President Emmanuel Macron witnessed a new joint venture agreement between Thai Airways and Airbus, which will lead to establishing a maintenance, repair and overhaul facility at U-Tapao International Airport.
