Thailand’s tourism sector has experienced significant disruption following armed clashes along the Thai-Cambodian border, with hotel bookings in several eastern and northeastern provinces severely affected.

According to tourism authorities, group tour cancellations reached one hundred percent in provinces such as Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket, and Aranyaprathet district in Sa Kaeo.

The Thai Hotels Association (THA) reported four thousand eighty-five room nights cancelled nationwide, with one thousand eight hundred eighty-one directly attributed to the ongoing conflict.

New bookings totaled six thousand eight hundred thirty-five room nights over the past week.

The THA noted that forward bookings have slowed, especially among visitors from Asian markets sensitive to security concerns.

Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool confirmed that seven provinces along the border—Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket, Surin, Buri Ram, Sa Kaeo, Chanthaburi, and Trat—have seen varying levels of impact.

In Buri Ram, authorities closed Phanom Rung Historical Park and Prasat Muang Tam Historical Park, and suspended events at Chang International Circuit, resulting in a seventy percent cancellation rate.

Surin and Chanthaburi each reported approximately eighty percent cancellation or postponement rates, while hotels in Trat and its island districts also experienced major declines.

Koh Chang and Koh Mak recorded thirty percent cancellations, while Koh Kut saw rates between fifty and sixty percent.

Some properties maintained partial occupancy due to bookings from aid workers, media personnel, and donors visiting evacuation sites.

The TAT has issued travel advisories for the affected regions but stated that major tourism destinations such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Pattaya remain unaffected.

The conflict, which intensified in late July, has led to more than thirty-eight deaths and the evacuation of over one hundred thirty-eight thousand civilians on the Thai side alone.
