Tourism between India and Thailand is driven by deep cultural and civilizational ties, including shared spiritual values and historical connections like the Ramayana and Buddhism. The Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO) highlights this as a significant bridge for people-to-people connections. Thailand is a popular destination for Indian tourists, with pre-pandemic arrivals exceeding two million annually. Conversely, Thailand also attracts Thai pilgrims to India for spiritual and Buddhist tourism, underscoring a unique two-way cultural exchange.
