|October 14, 2025
The government plans to attract 12 million foreign arrivals during its four-month tenure, driven by four events: the Amazing Marathon, Maha Loy Krathong 2025, Vijit Chao Phraya Light Festival and Amazing Thailand Countdown.
Nat Kruthasoot, deputy governor for tourism products and business at the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), said the agency is preparing major events for the high season to welcome both shortand long-haul tourists.
He said following the success of the branded Maha Songkran World Water Festival 2025, the agency is launching the 30-million-baht Maha Loy Krathong 2025 in November, aiming to reach a global level of recognition.
The celebrations are planned for Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, and are expected to generate 800 million baht in revenue from at least 450,000 visitors.
