Methodology

Figures are the Ministry of Tourism and Sports' annual estimates of receipts from international tourist arrivals (the "Grand Total" row of each year's January–December tables). The ministry derives them from arrivals, average length of stay and average spending per person per day measured in visitor surveys, and splits spending into categories such as shopping, accommodation and food. US dollar values are converted by the ministry at the exchange rates it states in each release. These are estimates, not counts of transactions, and they cover international tourist arrivals only; spending by Thai residents is in the domestic tourism statistics.

2019 tables classify tourists by country of residence; later years by nationality. National totals are unaffected.

2020 and 2021 include spending by foreigners who arrived before the border closures and remained in Thailand, so their arrivals base differs slightly from the international arrivals series.

From 2024 the ministry no longer reports medical care as a separate spending category.
