What the figures show

Between 2020 and 2025, the highest annual total for India was 2,487,319 in 2025. Arrivals in 2025 were +16.8% compared with 2024. In 2025, the busiest month was December (266,228) and the quietest was February (169,988).

The Ministry of Tourism and Sports classifies arrivals by nationality, so these figures count visitors holding India nationality wherever they travelled from. The ministry does not state whether someone who enters Thailand more than once is counted more than once. The ministry flags June 2026 as not fully recorded, so changes involving that month are not shown.

Methodology

Rows of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports "International Tourist Arrivals to Thailand" releases for individual countries, as labelled by the publisher (nationality). Publisher labels are mapped to ISO 3166-1 codes; regional subtotals and "Other in …" residual rows are not included as countries. Values marked P are preliminary.

The publisher classifies visitors by nationality. A country's figure counts arrivals of that nationality, wherever they travel from.

Countries plus residual rows sum to the publisher's Grand Total; the residual rows are not shown as countries.

The 2020 and 2021 releases label South Korea as "Korea" and have no separate North Korea row.

Licence: the publisher does not state reuse terms (unconfirmed). Figures are republished as attributed statistical facts.

June 2026 excludes 22–25 June (publisher's recording system outage); comparisons involving it are not like-for-like.
