1. Easier Entry: Visa-Free and E-Visa Options
While UAE visas for Indian residents are well-established, Thailand’s 60-day visa exemption for Indian passport holders (effective through 2025) has removed almost all barriers. For those needing advance planning, the new e-Visa system introduced in January 2025 allows Kozhikode travelers to apply entirely online, avoiding long waits.
3. More Value for the "Gulf Rupee"
With the strengthening of the UAE Dirham and rising costs in Dubai, Malabar families are finding that their budget goes much further in Thailand. Luxury resorts in Phuket or Krabi often cost 30-40% less than equivalent stays in Dubai. Full 5-day tour packages from Calicut are now available for as low as ₹20,000–₹30,000 (excluding flights).
4. Spiritual and Cultural Similarities
2025 has seen a surge in Wellness and Spiritual Tourism among Keralites. From the lush mountains of Chiang Mai that remind many of Wayanad to the world-class Ayurvedic-inspired Thai massage retreats, the cultural connection is drawing record numbers from the Malabar coast.
5. Family and Honeymoon Packages
Whether it’s a family trip to Safari World Bangkok or a honeymoon in Koh Samui, local travel agencies in Kozhikode have reported a 40% increase in Thailand bookings compared to the previous year.
