Bangkok – Tourist numbers in Thailand are plummeting on the most important festival of the year: Shortly before the traditional New Year’s festival of Songkran, which is considered the high season for tourism, industry representatives report a significant decline in bookings. The background is the sharp increase in travel costs – as a result of the energy crisis triggered by the Iran war. Songkran (from April 13th to 15th) is the most important festival in Thailand.
