Record 1 million American visitors to Thailand in 2017

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Record 1 million American visitors to Thailand in 2017

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Record number of Americans enter Thailand
24 December 2017
As of yesterday, one million Americans have visited Thailand in 2017, which is a new record number for one year. On the same day, Thailand also welcomed it’s 34 millionth visitor for the year.
This makes sense considering how happy Americans are in Thailand.

Nathaniel Alexander Way, a pharmaceutical scientist from Santa Barbara, California, was the lucky one millionth American arrival as he stepped into Bangkok this morning from Taiwan.
According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, or the TAT, he is on his honeymoon, but his bride was not the lucky millionth entrant. No word if she was the 9,999,999th arrival or the 1,000,001st.

That's a lot of ass baring graffiti vandals to cope with, in fairness I don't usually see them I just hear them.
