The DOT report said these groups also visited the Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho) along the way.
Wanasiri Morakul, director-general of the DOT, said that according to the statistics collected by the Bureau of the Royal Household, since the two main destinations were reopened to tourists, 75-85 per cent of visitors were with guided tour groups from China. Most of the rest were independent travellers from Europe or North America.
