Mobile-Centric Booking Surge in Thailand
In June 2023, 89 % of Thai users booked travel via smartphone, underscoring the country’s strong mobile-first trend in online travel agency usage. Thai OTAs are leveraging this preference by optimizing apps with AI-enabled recommendation engines, one-tap payments via Prompt Pay, and seamless integration with QR-based systems. These platforms now offer dynamic itinerary planners, interactive local guides, and push notifications for real-time price drops or flash deals, all within mobile environments. The convenience of biometric logins and saved preferences supports frictionless transaction flows. Travel apps also embedded social features such as sharing trip stories or in-app community reviews to enhance engagement. Post-booking experiences now include chatbot support and instant access to digital boarding passes and hotel check-ins, further boosting user retention. As mobile remains the primary booking channel, Thailand’s digital travel landscape is evolving into a fully localized, app-driven ecosystem capable of delivering end-to-end travel solutions. This strategic shift is central to driving sustained Thailand online travel market growth.
Domestic Exploration Anchored in Sustainability
In March 2025, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) launched Net Zero and Carbon Neutral tourism frameworks, highlighting a national commitment to sustainable sector growth. These initiatives have prompted travel platforms to prominently feature eco-conscious stays, such as solar-powered resorts on Koh Mak and promote community-based homestays in Chiang Mai and Nan via the Thai Ecotourism and Adventure Travel Association (TEATA). OTAs are adapting by integrating dedicated filters like “low‑carbon,” “community immersion,” and “wellness retreat,” while providing insights into each provider’s environmental accreditation. Package deals now bundle experiences such as organic farm visits, guided nature walks, and renewable-energy boat tours. Investors and travelers alike are increasingly drawn to curated content highlighting destination impact, supporting both local economies and eco-friendly practices. Online platforms now act as gatekeepers of quality and credibility in this evolving eco‑travel segment. This shift toward sustainable, regionally driven tourism embodies key Thailand online travel market trends.
Inbound Recovery through Digital Facilitation
In May 2025, Thailand mandated the use of the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) for all foreign visitors, replacing the traditional TM6 paper form. This e-authorisation move has driven OTAs and airline booking platforms to integrate TDAC submission directly into their flows, simplifying entry procedures and reducing friction for international travelers. Platforms are now offering multilingual support covering languages like Mandarin, Arabic, and Russian and displaying prices in the target user’s currency. Visa guidance, embassy-linked assistance, and travel insurance bundling are presented as seamless, step-by-step modules within the booking process. AI-powered chat assistants operate 24/7, helping foreign tourists with itinerary planning, translation, and cultural norms. These localized features are complemented by targeted promotions in key source markets to promote “soft‑power” highlights such as Thai cuisine, wellness tourism, and cultural festivals. By smoothing the traveler journey from pre-trip planning to final entry, Thailand’s digital gateways are transforming inbound travel capabilities. These enhancements are foundational to strengthening the Thailand online travel market.
