Bangkok has been crowned the world’s top tourism city for 2024 by Euromonitor International, welcoming a record 32.4 million visitors.
This impressive number outshines Istanbul, which ranked second with 23 million arrivals.
The Thai capital's success is attributed to not only its high visitor numbers but also to Thailand’s traveller-friendly policies, such as a 60-day visa exemption for citizens of 93 countries and expanded visa-on-arrival eligibility for 31 countries, up from 19.
These policies have significantly boosted Bangkok's attractiveness as a global travel destination.
