Tourism Statistics & Insights

Thailand’s public holidays fall into three groups: national holidays (New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve, Constitution Day, National Labour Day), major Buddhist holidays (Makha Bucha, Visakha Bucha, Asarnha Bucha), and royal/memorial days (including Coronation Day and key birthdays/memorial days). In 2026, the Bank of Thailand’s official calendar lists 19 holiday dates (including 3 Songkran days, substitution days, and an additional special holiday on 2 January). The actual number of days off can vary depending on how these dates align with weekends and whether sector- or region-specific holidays apply.

Thailand recorded 1,970,575 international tourist arrivals through Bangkok’s two main airports (Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang) from 1 January to 20 December 2025, based on statistics published by the Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA) as of 20 December 2025.

Beyond modern skylines and tourist routes, Thailand reveals a culture rooted in local routines, shared meals, and community life - a way of living shaped by warmth, tradition, and everyday rhythms.
