Thailand's Tourism Fee: Why It Still Hasn't Happened

Thailand's proposed 300 baht tourism fee has been in discussion since 2020 and still isn't settled. The latest obstacle is a practical one: aviation groups say collecting it through airlines won't work because booking systems don't capture the passenger details needed to separate Thai nationals from foreign visitors. This episode covers why the TDAC is now being put forward as the more workable collection point, what the fee is actually intended to fund, and what travelers should know for now, which is that this remains a proposal, not a confirmed cost.   𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝 (𝐓𝐃𝐀𝐂 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝) 🌐https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/tdac-thailand-digital-arrival-card.php   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIAM LEGAL INTERNATIONAL (Bangkok Office) 18th Floor, Unit 1806 Two Pacific Place, 142 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand Phone: TH: +66 2254 8900 Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.siam-legal.com/   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow us across platforms: 📌Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SiamLegal/ 📌Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siamlegal/ 📌X: https://x.com/SiamLegal 📌TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@siamlegal 📌LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/siam-legal/ 📌YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SiamLegal
