China’s 2025 National Day and Mid-Autumn holiday ran from 1 to 8 October. Thailand’s tourism authorities treated this as an important travel window for Chinese visitors, but visitor and revenue figures published before the holiday were forecasts, not confirmed results.
What the 2025 Golden Week meant for Thailand
The Thai government forecast around 200,000 Chinese visitors during the 1–8 October period and estimated approximately 9.1 billion baht in tourism revenue. This estimate replaces the higher figure previously shown on this page, which was not supported by the later official tourism forecast.
What travellers should plan for
- Book flights and accommodation early around the eight-day holiday window.
- Check direct-flight schedules from your departure city and allow extra time for airport transfers.
- Confirm current entry, payment and local transport information before travelling.
- Check event dates and availability directly with hotels, venues and tour operators.
Why this matters to property owners and investors
Holiday demand can improve visibility for Thailand’s tourism and hospitality businesses, but a short seasonal peak should not be treated as proof of a permanent market trend. For a property decision, compare current location, operating costs, rental demand and verified sales information with the wider market.
