Indians and Australians have been among the top tourists to Phuket in recent months (120,000 from May to September) (around 60,000 visitors between May – September). Year after year, travelers are drawn to Phuket by the spectacle of “Masongs” (human receptacles for Taoist gods) cutting their cheeks with pointed objects and by the mouthwatering cuisine. The Taoist celebration, which blends vegan food and self-mortification, will take place from September 25 to October 4. Russian tourists, who in the years before the pandemic grew to be the island’s second-largest international source market, continue to be a source of lost revenue for Phuket.

Moregenshtern blamed Japan’s closure for delayed searches. Thailand’s top tourism destination is Japan. This is true everywhere, including Asia, for the outgoing line. A rise in outbound tourism will reduce domestic tourism due to increasing travel options, he added. Domestic travel search rates jumped 50% in August compared to August 2019. Thailand leads Asia in tourist arrivals, although 2019 levels haven’t been achieved. Thais mainly booked hotel upgrades for secondary cities. Outbound search rates are approximately 50% lower than in August 2018. He said it depends on reopening big incoming markets like China, Hong Kong, and Japan.
