Govt to waive visas for Taiwan, India to boost tourismThai and foreign tourists visit Wat Pho, a Buddhist temple complex in the Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, on Oct 22, 2023. Thailand in September scrapped visa requirements for Chinese tourists, the country's top pre-coronavirus-pandemic tourism market with 11 million of the record 39 million arrivals in 2019. "Arrivals from India and Taiwan can enter Thailand for 30 days," government spokesman Chai Wacharonke said. Inbound tourism from India showed signs of growth as more airlines and hospitality chains targeted that market. Thailand expects the number of Chinese tourists to reach 4 million to 4.4 million in 2023, the tourism agency said earlier this month.
