Thailand Surpasses One Million Indian Visitors in the First Half of 2025, Reinforcing Strong Tourism Bonds with India
Thailand has surpassed the milestone of one million Indian visitors in just the first half of 2025, reflecting the growing strength of bilateral tourism ties between the two nations. This achievement not only confirms Thailand’s popularity among Indian travelers but also marks a new chapter in regional travel dynamics. Indian tourists are increasingly drawn to Thailand’s year-round appeal from vibrant cities and serene beaches to spiritual retreats and culinary adventures.
With the introduction of visa-free entry, the Thailand Digital Arrival Card, and expanded air connectivity, including from tier-II and tier-III Indian cities, travel between the two countries has never been easier.
This surge is also the result of strategic efforts by the Tourism Authority of Thailand to promote sustainable, high-value experiences tailored to Indian preferences. It’s a powerful signal that the India –Thailand tourism relationship is evolving into a more meaningful, long-term partnership grounded in cultural appreciation, convenience, and mutual growth.
Future outlook remains optimistic. With Thailand’s peak travel season approaching and a full calendar of festivals, wellness retreats, and cross-cultural events, Indian visitor numbers are expected to keep rising. India is not only a key market in terms of volume but also in engagement and long-term tourism potential.
As people-to-people ties deepen, tourism will remain a vital bridge between India and Thailand, cementing a partnership rooted in mutual appreciation, sustainability, and shared growth.
