The spokesperson said that 78% of the estimated number of passengers is international passengers, mostly from the Republic of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Since the numbers of passengers from these countries are likely to increase not only in this period but also all year long, Suvarnabhumi Airport has arranged services to facilitate these groups of passengers including the Chinese signage in addition to the English and Thai, the Chinese information brochures and officers who speak Chinese to encourage more passengers to come to Thailand.
