The amount of people who i know of irl who are going to thailand this year or know anyone who’s going is insane…

it’s just beginning for you

Are they living there or just holiday? It’s one of the most touristy spots in the world, people go there for a day or two before going to Phuket or Koh Samui or whatever

Personally my results here are the same as the Philippines which is supposedly much easier

"In 2025, foreign visitor numbers fell 7.23% year-on-year. The total was 32.9 million, down from 35.54 million in 2024. This drop lowered international tourism revenue by 4.71% ($48.8 Billion)."

Bad news is the decrease comes from Asia, while western tourists from AUS/CA/US/UK + europe are all up anywhere from 5 to 20%

I can't find good numbers for expats and digital nomads but I would assume a similar trend to tourism, the amount of western guys living in Thailand keeps increasing every year. Which I think is very accurate as all my data points show thailand keeps getting more and more saturated, and the bottom western guys are starting to move to the Philippines.

At what point normies will be completely fucked in Thailand too? If these numbers keep growing, I can't see normies doing well in 5 to 10 years

Both, tourism is increasing every year, as well as the amount of western guys living there
obviously 80 or 90% of them are probably just there for a few days

Yes, lots of them also living there and hiding from the war through visa runs, which is gonna inflate the numbers

I hate russians so much. they look like white pigs. if you take a nigger and give them ugly paper white skin they look like russians. russians also have pig noses like niggers.
they should not call themselves white

We will see what happens with DTV in the next years, as that's what all the young guys are using to stay longterm

CHINESE stopped going to BKK. Not the Westoids which have always been a minority of people. I see so many eurochads here it’s not funny at all.

I always had bad interactions with them, they are very arrogant, spoiled and low class, nasty people

Yeah they need to get rid of the soft power one and keep the online work one

russia has some of the most polarizing tourists in the world. on the one hand, you have the low class ones in SEA and turkey then you have the rich annoying ones/escorts in major US and european cities. but between those two groups there are some really cool ones who fly under the radar

one of the coolest guys i ever met was a 70 year old russian dude at a german airport

It wouldn't surprise me if they crackdown on it at some point. Thais are tired of over tourism, and low quality tourists.
