Top Air Travel Destinations for Thai Travelers 2025

Thais are choosing trips that resonate, not just impress. With 28% heading to Southeast Asia and 21% to East Asia, the appeal is clear: cultural proximity, visa ease, and travel deals trump long-haul prestige. Central Asia’s surprising 17% marks a quiet breakout, likely fueled by curiosity, affordability, and a growing appetite for off-the-beaten-path narratives, especially among younger Thais bored of Bali and Tokyo. Europe and the Americasare still aspirational, but each region scrapes by with just 3–7%, held back by weak baht, visa hurdles, and tighter budgets.
