Thailand's world-famous tourism sector began emerging from its coronavirus dormancy in July, when the government began reopening the country to fully vaccinated visitors.
According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the country has welcomed 7.6 million foreign tourists so far in 2022. That is well above the 427,000 who managed to sneak in the previous year. The TAT expects up to 10 million foreign tourists for all of 2022 and 18 million next year. These numbers pale in comparison to the 39 million international arrivals for 2019.

The momentum is expected to continue in 2023, with a target of 20 million overseas arrivals and 1.5 trillion baht in foreign tourist receipts. That would put Thailand halfway to the number of foreign tourists seen in 2019, just before the pandemic, and 80 per cent of the revenue generated by foreign visitors back then.
Thailand expects to earn 2.38 trillion baht ($64.50 billion) in tourism revenue in 2023, a government official said on Monday. The government wants tourism next year to reach 80% of its 2019, pre-pandemic level, as the key growth sector is starting to see a recovery as the pandemic eases. Foreign tourists are expected to bring in between 970 billion baht to 1.5 trillion baht next year,
