In 2023, Thailand received a total of 817,914 international tourists who were visiting for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) purposes. Out of this number, the Indian tourists accounted for more than 231,120, which represent almost 28% of the market share. Furthermore, starting with the onset of 2024 up until now, a total of 564,024 Indian visitors have visited Thailand, placing them among the top 5 international tourists to go to the country.
