Thai Hotels Association warns Q2 forward bookings are weaker than last year as airfares spike and uncertainty rises, proposing eight measures to support tourism recovery.

The Thai Hotels Association (THA) held a meeting on April 1, 2026 to gather views on the Middle East crisis and its impact on Thailand’s hotel industry, including updated assessments and forward booking trends.

Thienprasit Chaiyapatranun, president of the THA, said overall performance in Q1 2026 met targets, but the association is increasingly concerned about Q2, as forward bookings have slowed and are weaker than the same period last year. For Q3-Q4, most markets are in a “wait-and-see” mode.

Koh Samui is an island of contrasts. One minute you’re watching sunlight spill across the Sea like champagne over glass; the next, you’re standing inside a perfectly designed beachfront venue, wondering why the bookings aren’t coming in, despite your beautiful new video, your drone shots, your glossy photos, your meticulously edited reel that cost more than a weekend in a pool villa.
