Indians in Thailand, often referred to as Thai Indians, are citizens of Thailand with full or partial Indian ancestry.
In 2025, India became one of Thailand's most significant tourism source markets, recording 2,487,319 arrivals and generating 93,862 million baht in tourism receipts. The market grew by 16.8%, ranking as the third-largest contributor to both visitor volume and overall revenue. Indian tourists are increasingly recognized as high-yield visitors, with high per-capita expenditure driven by specialized sectors such as destination weddings, nightlife and religious tourism. Economically, the market is characterized by a low level of "leakage". Consequently, the Tourism Authority of Thailand's 2026 strategy has pivoted toward "value-led growth," prioritizing these high-spending Indian segments to maximize the economic impact per visitor.
An opinion poll in 2010 stated that 37% of Thai people had positive views about India, contrasted with 37% of Thai people having negative views about India.
