Thailand continues to attract a large number of Indian tourists and the number is only growing. It registered a 15 percent growth in Indian tourist arrivals in the first half of 2017 and India is ranked sixth in terms of tourist arrivals in Thailand. The destination is a popular holiday, MICE and wedding destination for Indians and the commencement of direct flights from more points in India has aided the growth.
