Over four million visitors have arrived in Phuket in the first eight months of 2022, generating at least 66 billion baht for the resort island, according to deputy governor Pichet Panapong.
Phuket is now seeing 3,000-5,000 foreign arrivals a day, or about 40% of the number prior to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019, while the number of local tourists is at about 85% of pre-Covid levels, he said.
