Thailand Luxury Fashion Market Trends:

Influence of Chinese Tourism and Regional Affluence

The market significantly benefits from inbound tourism, and Chinese tourists remain a particularly influential consumer base. According to industry reports, approximately 6.73 Million Chinese travelers visited Thailand in 2024, reflecting a substantial 91.7% surge compared to the previous year. With the return of outbound travel from China post-COVID-19 restrictions, Thai retailers and luxury malls have observed renewed activity from Chinese shoppers, especially in Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya. Chinese tourists are typically brand-conscious and well-informed, often arriving with specific purchase intentions for luxury items that are more affordable or accessible in Thailand than in mainland China. Retailers have responded by hiring Mandarin-speaking staff, integrating Alipay and WeChat Pay systems, and tailoring marketing materials to cater to this segment. Beyond Chinese travelers, affluent visitors from neighboring ASEAN countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia are contributing to cross-border luxury consumption, drawn by Thailand’s comparative pricing and product availability. Apart from this, the presence of regional high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) at flagship stores, outlet malls, and multi-brand retailers is driving demand for tailored customer service, exclusive merchandise, and in-store experiences. This influx is influencing store formats, language services, and merchandising strategies across the market.

Rise of Digital-First Luxury Consumption

The shift toward digital channels is providing a boost to the Thailand luxury fashion market growth. With rising internet accessibility and mobile-first behavior, digital platforms are becoming primary touchpoints for luxury discovery and purchase. As of 2025, Thailand’s population stands at 71.6 Million, with 91.2% of residents having internet access, equivalent to 65.4 Million users. Additionally, 71.1% of the population maintains at least one active social media profile, amounting to 51 Million accounts. This connected consumer base, particularly affluent individuals in urban centers like Bangkok and Chiang Mai, is increasingly using digital platforms to browse, evaluate, and buy luxury products. Furthermore, social media channels such as Instagram, TikTok, and Line have become integral to how luxury brands position themselves, run campaigns, and interact with potential buyers. Also, influencer marketing and live-streamed product launches are now commonplace, enabling international and domestic labels to cultivate exclusivity while maintaining accessibility. In addition to this, e-commerce platforms such as JD Central and Lazada Luxe have enhanced logistics and customer service, aligning with luxury expectations. Moreover, official brand websites and online boutiques are optimizing mobile experiences and offering virtual consultations or styling sessions, which appeal to tech-savvy Thai consumers. Besides this, luxury buyers are also using digital channels to authenticate items, research product histories, and participate in pre-order events or limited-release drops. The convenience of digital browsing, coupled with secure payment systems and faster delivery options, has made online luxury shopping a normalized experience, particularly post-pandemic. This transition has necessitated digital fluency across all touchpoints in the luxury purchase cycle.
