Just how many tourists are coming to Bangkok right now?

•The TAT does not have access to the most recent data about Bangkok, so cannot provide specific numbers regarding visitors to the city until we can compile summary reports.

•While the number of visitors to Bangkok has certainly dropped, TAT representatives who tour the inner city daily still see many tourists doing engaging in regular activities.

•The only data we can provide to you at this time relates to overall arrivals.

•International tourist arrivals at Suvarnabhumi Airport for October 2011 reached 958,000, an increase of 6.7% over the previous year. Arrivals at Phuket International Airport during October were up 28.5% compared to last year.

•From November 1st to 9th, the number of arrivals at Suvarnabhumi Airport was 224,000, a decrease of 25.5% compared to the same period last year.

•Phuket International Airport had 40,500 arrivals from November 1st to 6th, a 40% increase compared to the same period last year.
