Thailand has taken the top spot in 2022 as the most-visited country in Southeast Asia and the most downloaded podcast by The Southeast Asia Travel Show. The podcast featured Bangkok-based travel journalist Vincent Vichit-Vadakan discussing the reopening travel situation in Thailand back in April. Although many things have changed in Thailand and across Southeast Asia since then, the country’s enduring appeal to travellers remains. Bali also featured twice (#2 and #5) on the podcast’s Top 10 list, thanks to the insights of Stuart McDonald, Melina Caruso, and Simona Chimenti. Laos, with its charm and beauty, claimed the #7 spot on the annual listing. The podcast plans to produce great episodes for 2023 to surpass the total of 100 countries in which it was downloaded in 2022. The Top 10 listener markets in 2022 were the US, Australia, UK, Canada, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The podcast is available on any podcast app, and the full 158-show back catalogue is also available for listeners.
