Source & methodology

Ministry of Tourism and Sports, Thailand · monthly statistical releases · source releases 2026-10-01 · retained coverage Jan 2024 – Sep 2026. Calculations by TRCC. Values can be revised.

These are international arrival events classified by nationality, not unique people. “Thailand” uses the official international total, never a sum of regional aggregates. National June 2025 and 2026 are unavailable pending completeness evidence; dependent YTD cannot be calculated. The separate cumulative comparison sums only consecutive complete months from January, with the same cutoff in both years and one release for every input. An earlier cutoff is explicitly labelled and never presented as current YTD.

Share = market arrivals / official total × 100. Rankings use the 91 individually reported markets with competition ranks for ties; unlisted countries inside residual groups cannot be individually ranked. Share and rank require a complete reconciled market/residual set from the same release. Annual change = current − prior; percent change divides by the nonzero prior value. Comparisons require the same month, complete observations and one release.

BRICS and EAEU reuse fixed Trade Statistics membership 2026-09-23 throughout history. Groups overlap and must not be added. No missing member is zero. Full EAEU is unavailable because Armenia has no separate source row.
