Thailand's visitor arrivals for the first half of 2011 (January through June) grew by an impressive 28.13% compared to the same period last year.

For those looking at trends the Top 5 growth markets are:

China - 68.17%

Russia - 50.79%

Indonesia - 45.42%

Korea - 35.37%

India - 33.99%

Saudia Arabia actually led all markets with a 83.74% increase, but was less than 1% of total arrivals.

It's interesting to see one of the mini-BRIC's Indonesia in the list, which represents a growing affluence in Southeast Asia's largest economy.
