Source & methodology

Ministry of Tourism and Sports, Thailand · monthly statistical releases · source releases 2026-09-14 · retained coverage Jan 2024 – Aug 2026. Calculations by TRCC. Values can be revised.

Visitors, accommodation guests and national border arrivals are different measures. Thai/foreign is the source split; nationality versus residence, occupancy coverage and revenue methodology remain unverified. Revenue is shown in million THB; occupancy change is in percentage points. Since-January totals cover visitors and revenue only: every month of both years must be complete and from one source release. Missing months withhold the comparison; occupancy is never summed. A zero prior total withholds percentage change. A province is not a city or island: Chonburi is not Pattaya and Surat Thani is not Samui. No provincial Russia series is available.
