Down slightly from the previous month but helped by the return of travellers from China.
January's figures showed a surge in arrival numbers from 133,828 in January 2022, when entry restrictions were in place in Thailand. It compared with 2.24 million visitors in December and 1.75 million in November.
Tourism started to rebound last year with 11.15 million foreign visitors overall, beating a government target. That was far short of the record of nearly 40 million visitors in pre-pandemic 2019, who spent 1.91 trillion baht . The top three source markets in January were Malaysia with 288,745 visitors, Russia with 202,759 and South Korea with 169,462 tourists, the ministry said.
