Good news for Pattaya and Jomtien as Thailands tourist numbers continue to rise!

The report is out and the number of Thailands tourists has seen an increase of 8% in the fiscal year between Sept /30 /2011 and Sept /30/2012. It is estimated that Thailand has seen 15 million tourists enter the Kingdom so far this year, with an expected 20 million by years end according to a statement made by Suwat Sidthilaw. This Thailands Ministry permanent - secretary.

Despite some bad publicity of crime in Pattaya and Phuket including jet ski scams and crooked taxi drivers, tourism continues to thrive. Thailand has seen its fair share of obstacles over the years from tsunamis, political unstability, and flooding, yet still holds strong.

Thailand continues to work to solve runway problems and slow immigration queues at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport but with the opening of the old Don Mueang Airport and plans to further commercialise Pattaya's Utapao it looks like things are getting better.
