For Indian tourists planning to travel to Thailand, 2024 will be an exciting year with new opportunities and attractions on the horizon.

Fans of the “White Lotus” series have reason to celebrate, as filming for the anticipated third season is currently taking place in Thailand. This offers Indian tourists a unique opportunity to not only enjoy the beauty of Thailand but also see their favorite artists at work.

In addition to its appeal, Thailand has imposed an immigration ban on Indian citizens effective from 10 November 2023 to 10 May 2024. This means hassle-free travel to the Southeast Asian country with a maximum stay of 30. It’s the perfect time for Indian passport holders to explore the wonder of Thailand.

The visa-free policy has been successful in attracting more Indian tourists, with travel inquiries increasing by 321% since it was announced. India is Thailand’s fourth largest market after Malaysia, China and Singapore.
The Thai government plans to host 3.5 million foreign tourists by 2024, with a special focus on increasing tourism by Indian tourists. Last year, 1.62 million Indian tourists came to Thailand.

Aloke Bajpai, CEO and Co-Founder of Ixigo Group, comments on Indian tourists’ willingness to visit visa-free destinations like Thailand. Countries like Iran, Malaysia, Kenya and Thailand have seen an 80-100% increase in travel requests due to visa-free policy.
