Sweden accounted for 163 059 guest arrivals at Phuket accommodation establishments in 2025 — 1.6% of all foreign check-ins (10 085 407) and rank #15 among the 38 foreign rows (including the residual “Others”) the Ministry of Tourism and Sports publishes for the province. Against 2024 (162 635) that is +0.3%; against 2019, the last pre-pandemic year (185 776), it is −12.2%.
Over the whole series the market went from 209 589 in 2013 to 163 059 in 2025 (−22.2%). The best year on record is 2013 with 209 589 check-ins. The pandemic low was 2021 at 12 251. Sweden’s share of foreign arrivals moved from 1.9% in 2019 to 1.6% in 2025, so other markets grew faster.
Seasonality: in 2025 the peak month was novembre (17 930) and the quietest août (6 250). Averaged over 2023–2025, arrivals are strongly seasonal (2.7× between décembre and août): November–March carries 47.1% of the year and June–August 20.3%, which makes Sweden a winter-leaning market for Phuket. Before the pandemic (2013–2019) the strongest month averaged 12.3% of the year, in mai.
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.
