The Ministry of Tourism and Sports (MOTS) of Thailand released statistics on the number of foreign visitors to Thailand
https://www.mots.go.th/news/category/411 in July 2025.

According to data released by MOTS, the number of foreign visitors to Thailand in July 2025 was 2,610,369. This is a significant decrease of 287,597 from the 2,322,772 in June.

The number of foreign visitors to Thailand fell by approximately 589,000 from January to February, approximately 399,000 from February to March, approximately 173,000 from March to April, and approximately 280,000 from April to May, resulting in a dramatic decrease of approximately 1.44 million over four months. While there was a slight increase of 56,000 visitors from May to June, there was another significant decrease of approximately 288,000 visitors from June to July. Furthermore, compared to the same month last year, July saw a significant decrease of over 15%. June also saw a significant decrease of over 15% compared to the same month last year, resulting in another significant decrease compared to the previous year, following June. Compared to the previous year, the number of Chinese tourists in particular has dropped sharply. Thailand's economy is currently in a severe slump. I believe that tourism, Thailand's main industry, is the key to revitalizing the country's economy. I sincerely hope that the number of international visitors will increase from August onwards, and that the Thai economy will once again improve.
