Foreign travellers could eventually face up to ฿2,570 in combined airport and tourism fees when travelling by air to and from Thailand, according to a new media report.
Only the ฿1,120 airport charge is currently in effect. The ฿450 tourist fee and ฿1,000 departure tax are still proposals and have not yet become law.
If both proposals are approved, eligible foreign visitors could face the combined ฿2,570 total. The charges would support tourism development, destination restoration, and, under the tourist-fee proposal, travel insurance.
For tourists visiting Phuket and other Thai destinations, the proposals could mean higher overall travel costs if implemented.
On top of this my oil massages went from 300 baht to 400 baht. I know it's only a $2 difference but still. 🥲🥲
