The number fell to 24.8 million in 2014, partly because some tourists were put off by political unrest including street protests in Bangkok that year. Thailand 's tourism appears to be booming with a record number of over a quarter tourists predicted to visit the country this year , with 30.3 million of this figure are coming from Thailand . This is despite the political unrest of this year and the bomb attack in Bangkok in August . "The bombing did not have much impact on the general outlook for tourism... the aim is to get this year to return to normal", said Ittirit Kinglek , President of the Tourism Council of Thailand . The number of Chinese visitors are expected to be 8.12million , a 76.31% increase on 2014 , and the country is aiming for £ 40.09bn ($ 62bn ) in revenue this year from tourism.
