Indian tourists are the largest tourist group on the island province, according to Phuket International Airport Immigration, now that Thailand Pass has withdrawn its much-despised ‘Test & Go’ scheme. Sometime Between 1 and May 18, 12,200 Indians toured Phuket. Australia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Malaysia, the United States, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates round up the top ten nations with the most visitors to Phuket. According to the head of the Phuket Tourism and Sports office, the percentage of Indian people visiting the world-famous beach paradise is projected to continue to rise.
