BANGKOK, March 25 (Bernama): Thailand recorded just 7,694 foreign tourists in January this year - the highest number of monthly tourist arrivals so far since the Covid-19 pandemic hit Thailand in 2020.

However, the Tourism and Sports Ministry’s data showed the figure is minuscule when compared with 3.81 million arrivals in the same month last year.
