Bangkok Leads in Frequent Asian Tourist Repeat Visits
Bangkok, the vibrant capital city of Thailand, has once again claimed the title of the most revisited destination in Asia, according to data from the digital travel platform Agoda. The city's continued success can be attributed to its rich culture, culinary excellence, and strong collaboration between the tourism sector and government agencies.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is focusing on specific markets to increase visitor numbers, with campaigns aimed at attracting more travellers from India, China, Malaysia, Laos, and Vietnam. This strategy is based on the wide-ranging appeal and regional diversity that Thailand offers.
Bangkok's vibrant atmosphere, distinctive cuisine, world-class cultural landmarks such as the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, convenient transport, and warm hospitality create a strong appeal for travelers, encouraging repeat visits. The city's status as a safe destination, with a Level 1 “Exercise Normal Precautions” rating from the U.S. Department of State, also reassures international tourists.
Active tourism campaigns, like the “Amazing Thailand Grand Sale 2025,” which offer special deals on accommodation, shopping, and travel packages, particularly targeting key markets, have also contributed to Bangkok's popularity. The diverse offerings—nightlife, shopping, food, and cultural experiences—make it attractive for multiple visits within a short time frame.
A notable number of users returned to Bangkok more than once within just six months, indicating the city's strong magnetic pull as a destination worth revisiting. Other destinations in the top 10 include Taipei, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru (Malaysia), Da Nang (Vietnam), and Hong Kong. Thailand had four other destinations in the top 10, including Phuket, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, and Hat Yai.
In summary, Bangkok’s combination of cultural richness, safety, convenience, hospitality, and ongoing promotional efforts explains why it remains Asia’s most revisited city according to Agoda's 2025 data. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is working to attract more visitors from various countries, ensuring that Bangkok's popularity continues to grow.
