Which country in Southeast Asia is the most popular among Indian travellers?
Known for its pristine beaches, affordable stays and vibrant nightlife, this country received the highest number of Indian tourists among Southeast Asian countries in 2024. Can you guess which one? Also read: 10 million tourists visited Asia's 'most-loved country' in Q1; more than Thailand, Indonesia India is one of Thailand's most significant tourism markets, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) said in a press release in December 2024 to celebrate the 2 million-mark of Indian tourists in Thailand. In 2023, Indian tourists generated 61.9 billion Baht in revenue for Thailand. More than 35.5 million foreign tourists visited Thailand in 2024. Of these, 2.1 million were Indians. Indian travellers arrive in Thailand around the year. November to February is typically considered the high tourist season, overlapping with winter vacation for schoolchildren in India. Thailand is a popular tourist destination with both bachelors and families. There are plenty of factors that contribute to Thailand's popularity as India's favourite tourist destination, including accessibility, affordability and distance. In its press release, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) said: 'Thailand's strong air connectivity with India has been instrumental in fostering this growth. As of June 2024, 342 weekly flights between the two nations offered 2.9 million seats annually, representing a 92.2% rebound from pre-pandemic levels. Recent additions, including Indigo's Hyderabad-Bangkok route, THAI's Kochi-Bangkok flights, and Thai AirAsia's Vishakhapatnam-Bangkok service, have further enhanced accessibility.' Friendly visa policies are another major factor contributing the footfall. Thailand has visa-free entry for Indians 'until further notice'. Popular tourist destinations in Thailand include Bangkok, Phuket, Chon Buri, Krabi, Chiang Mai and Phang-nga. Places like Phuket and Krabi are known for their stunning beaches and water activities. In Bangkok, tourists can enjoy shopping, visit famous temples like Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Arun, or drop into one of the city's famous rooftop bars. Chiang Mai, located in northern Thailand, is famous for its historic temples, night markets, and mountain landscapes. It also serves as a base for visiting elephant sanctuaries.

Security tightened at Amarnath Yatra: Surveillance drones, bomb squads deployed; 50,000 CRPF personnel to secure route
File photo NEW DELHI: Surveillance drones, bomb disposal squads and canine teams will be deployed along the two designated routes of the Amarnath Yatra , as part of heightened security measures that also include the highest ever deployment of CRPF personnel for the 38-day event. Nearly 50,000 CRPF personnel, in addition to the J&K police, will fan across the route of the yatra, engaging in road opening (ROP) duties to detect and defuse IEDs, besides having quick action teams stationed at vantage points. All approach roads and routes to the national highway will be blocked when the yatri convoys, escorted by CRPF troops who will be equipped with satellite phones, will pass through. All convoys will have jammers. The Amarnath yatra, which is much shorter than its 52-day edition last year, comes in the wake of the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which killed 25 tourists and a local, and led to retaliatory strikes on terror bases in Pakistan as part of Operation Sindoor. When the Pakistani forces hit back by trying to target civilian settlements and military assets here, the Indian armed forces responded with full force, carrying out precision strikes on several military targets in Pakistan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your window is closing it's time to upgrade to windows 11 Lenovo Learn More Undo Like the past year, there will be radio frequency IDs for both the yatris and convoy vehicles, to help the security forces track their onward journey and return. Drones will keep an eye on any suspicious movement along the yatra routes — both through Pahalgam and Baltal — and quick action teams will swoop in to neutralise such elements before they can strike. CRPF is already providing security to the Chenab and Anji rail bridges in J&K. Joint police control rooms will be set up along the two Amarnath pilgrimage routes for enhanced coordination among the security agencies and forces, to immediately resolve issues faced by the yatris. There will be mountain rescue teams as well to aid the yatris. Another security measure on the table is to have plain-clothed security personnel as 'marshals' in the buses carrying the yatris.
