Thailand is set to bring back its 300-baht tourism tax in a bid to generate more revenue for infrastructure development and tourist safely. Tourism Minister Sorawong Thienthong confirmed the plan, with the tax expected to help meet the government’s ambitious target of 3 trillion baht in tourism income this year.   Foreign tourists arriving by air will pay 300 baht, while those entering by sea or land will be charged 150 baht. The tax, initially approved in 2022, has yet to be implemented, but authorities are finalizing the process to ensure it doesn’t negatively impact tourist sentiment.   To further boost the sector, the ministry is considering reinstating successful pandemic-era programs, such as the “We Travel Together” scheme, which offered co-payments on hotel stays and flights. These measures are aimed at increasing local economic benefits as the peak tourist season approaches.
