saengd Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 2 minutes ago, Scott Tracy said: From these figures, arrivals from Europe spend 67605 baht per person on average, arrivals from China spend 37984 baht per person on average, arrivals from East Asia spend 40778 baht per person, arrivals from other southeast Asian nations spend 30437 baht per person.I Remind me what was being said about Chinese and Indian tourists? You need to post the link to your figures first of all. Second you need quantify whether the amounts are per day/week/month or what. If you dig into more than just the headline numbers you'll see that length of stay affects the headline number considerably, also, volume of tourists by country also has huge impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo 2 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 "Tourism is a key driver of Thai growth" so make sure you take good care of all people who made their choice of visiting or living in Thailand. No need to be arrogant, there are many other countries where people can visit or live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, have you every wondered why AOT lists the number of transit passengers passing through Thai airports when supposedly you can't transit.....a rhetorical question. OUT So just because you have used the airports do you think nobody else does?? Have you even considered also that some of us 'Ferrangs' worked in the Airline Industry even at places called 'Don Mueang' and 'Swampy'. No never mind... Out!! 5555 ???????????????????????????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 7 hours ago, saengd said: Except transit passengers don't arrive, they transit and as such are not reflected in the Immi. or AOT arrivals totals. They do if they arrive at BKK and fly out from Don Muang. As in taking a cheap flight to Vietnam to continue onwards. Immigration could check how many stay under 24 hours, but that data is not available to public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uktony Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 This 2.5% was due to Chinese new Year moving into January this year (Jan 25 2020), and is smaller bump, because of that, than it should be. Watch how the drop in February will be blamed on CNY not being in February this year. (Feb 5 2019) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh look, wot a surprise!!! ???? The term "transit" applies more to staying temporarily before continuing on to your next destination. You would "transit" an airport if you fly from A, stop for a while, then continue another flight to B. You "transit" a subway station when you stop to change from train C to train D.
