The Thai government has announced the postponement of the planned 300-baht (US$9) tourism tax from June to September due to complaints from airlines.
The fee was proposed to help the Thai tourism sector recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, with a 150 baht sum for overland visitors and a 300-baht fee for airline passengers. However, airlines raised concerns about the implementation of the fee, as it would be difficult to differentiate between foreign visitors who needed to pay and Thai nationals or foreign residents who did not.
