Thailand Tourism & Travel Market Intelligence

Thailand ran 35.54M international arrivals in 2024, then slipped to 32.97M in 2025 as China under-recovered and Malaysia became the largest origin market. The listed operator stack is unusually clean: Airports of Thailand (SET: AOT) runs the gateway, Minor International (SET: MINT) anchors hotels via NH Hotel Group, Asia Aviation (SET: AAV) runs the LCC network. This report covers source-market concentration, the July 2024 visa-free expansion to 93 countries, the draft Entertainment Complex Act, and a five-year scenario band against regulator targets.
