Touristen aus Norway in Phuket: Ankünfte nach Jahr und Monat

Norway accounted for 174.934 guest arrivals at Phuket accommodation establishments in 2025 — 1.7% of all foreign check-ins (10.085.407) and rank #14 among the 38 foreign rows (including the residual “Others”) the Ministry of Tourism and Sports publishes for the province. Against 2024 (191.246) that is −8.5%; against 2019, the last pre-pandemic year (146.540), it is +19.4%.

Over the whole series the market went from 109.154 in 2013 to 174.934 in 2025 (+60.3%). The best year on record is 2024 with 191.246 check-ins. The pandemic low was 2021 at 5.931. Norway’s share of foreign arrivals moved from 1.5% in 2019 to 1.7% in 2025, so the market grew faster than Phuket as a whole.

Seasonality: in 2025 the peak month was Oktober (27.105) and the quietest März (7.584). Averaged over 2023–2025, arrivals are strongly seasonal (2.6× between Juli and Januar): November–March carries 33.2% of the year and June–August 29.9%, which makes Norway a year-round market for Phuket. Before the pandemic (2013–2019) the strongest month averaged 14.1% of the year, in Dezember.

Definitions: a guest arrival is a check-in at a registered hotel, resort, guesthouse or serviced apartment in Phuket province, counted by the nationality given at check-in. It is not an airport arrival and not a count of people: someone who stays in two hotels is counted twice, someone in a private villa is not counted. The nationality series runs 2013–2025; the 2026 split will appear with the ministry’s 2026 annual file, expected mid-2027.
