The Ministry of Tourism and Sports has announced that beginning April 1, the government will charge a fee of 300 baht per foreign tourist to help restore tourism and insure tourists. On January 24, the Minister of Tourism and Sports stated that the National Tourism Policy Committee will discuss collecting entry fees (tourist tax) from foreign tourists. The rate of 300 baht per person is the same whether entering the country via land, sea, or air.
This tax will be collected on visitors entering Thailand. This fee is waived for foreign nationals who enter Thailand using a border pass or border crossing letter; local government officials at the border, as well as those who do not have passports but have a letter of permission to work in Thailand, are exempt.
It will then propose to the Ministry, which will be considered in February, that it keeps to the schedule that it will try to implement beginning on June 1. Another group under consideration is foreign tourists who take ferries.
