Thailand to impose travel tax in 2025
Thailand says it will roll out the proposed tourist tax next year.
The THB300 baht fee will start for inbound air travellers and will be implemented from mid-2025.
Tourism and Sports Minister Sarawong Thienthong said it still requires Cabinet approval.
“We are working out the details and will submit for approval in January next year.”
“It will start with air passengers, the first phase which will be six months to take effect.”
Once it rolls out at airports, it will be extended to overland travelers.
About 70% of foreign arrivals arrive in Thailand by air.
Sarawong said the system will enable advance online payments.
