The most during Songkran is Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Phuket, which are the main tourist cities.

And it is interesting.

Chinese Gen Z and Millennium tourists

He is very interested in local cultural tourism in Thailand.

Therefore, localities should maintain their local culture.

To attract Chinese tourists is another interesting information.

The average stay in Thailand is much higher.

The average short stay is 5 days, and the long stay has increased to 28 days, an increase of 3 times compared to the previous year.

The proportion of tourists who come to work or work from anywhere has increased.

Group travel in Thailand grew 310% year on year.

More than 90% of the homes booked on Airbnb are self-contained, and 25% say they want three or more bedrooms.

While foreigners flock to Thailand

Thai people flock to travel abroad as well.

The top 5 destinations for Thais are South Korea, US, UK, France, Japan. The cities where Thais book the most accommodation are Seoul, London, Paris, Melbourne and New York. Thais visit Korea as the number 1 destination because they are addicted to the Korean K-Wave culture. coming on strong

I just went to Japan last week. Toyota Motor Thailand Co., Ltd. invites you to visit the newly opened motorsports museum near Mount Fuji named Fuji Motorsports Museum, located on the 1st-2nd floor in the Fuji Speedway Hotel, a five-star Toyota hotel. Located right next to Toyota's Fuji Speedway, the hotel rooms have a clear view of the racing action on the track.

On the other side is a view of Mount Fuji.

There is a golf course next to the hotel.

It is a very beautiful hotel.

It just opened in October last year.

In the museum, all kinds of racing cars are on display, from the first Panhard et Levassor 1895 race car to the 1902 Ford 999, along with the history of every race car.

In terms of competition, Bangkok is also listed in this museum as

The host of the Bangkok Grand Prix International Motor Race on Sunday, December 10, 1939 (2039), in which Prince Bira

was initiated for the first time in Asia

But unfortunately had to cancel the competition.

Because of World War 2

On this trip to Japan, I met a lot of Thai people.

Even though the airfare is very expensive.

Thai Airways business class seats, the price has gone up to more than 110,000 baht per seat.

But the service is still the same.

When the aviation business recovers, Thai Airways will be tired again.

Everything in Japan is exorbitantly expensive.

Due to the depreciation of the Yen and the increase in VAT to 10%, Thai people are still crowded on every flight.

March and April are cherry blossom season.

Air tickets from Bangkok to Japan are even more rare than K-pop concerts.

Unbelievable, you have to believe AmazingThai.
