    Under western insurance laws, if any part of this is a insurance, it will make the tourist insurance you get at home, null and void, as they will say that you are insured and paid it as you entered the Country, and will refuse to pay out, just like when your government says its not safe to go somewhere, your insurance will not cover you.
    Now Thailand not only allows discrimination against tourist at tourist places, they now want to charge you for it, and there are far many more SE Asian countries to go to that are not becoming more and more hostile to people that want to come and enjoy their country. The land of smiles, as they stab you in the back.

    Here's the thing. Paying this tax once a year is fine. But for the people who travel to Thailand 2-3 times per year or more. It's quite unfair. There should be a way to limit and indentify the amount of time onr single person is paying the tax.

      40 years ago you had to pay tax in Thailand if you stayed here more than 6 month during the last 12 month. Never mind you had any income or not. I still have a passport with several tax clearance stamps. Without doing tax clearance you were not allowed to leave the country.

      @@dahsudahsu222 It's changing to the better. Before every thing was so corrupted, you could not get anything done at a government office without paying bribes, same problem for Thai people. Now you normally never have to pay bribes at any government office. Thai citicens can now get a "health card" for about 30 THB and get free medical care at any govenrment hospitay, even surgeries. That has resulted in that the government hospitals are often very crowded, problem to get beds for all patients. My wife is working as a deputy manager for a government office so I have quite good insight about what is going on. They have had internal "No Corruption" campaigns several times to try to minimize the corruption. I lived here also in the 1980's and there is a big difference now, it's actually getting much better. It's still a long way to go but as long as it's moving in the right direction there is hope. Hope is nothing I have left for Sweden, where I come from, so I will propably never move back.

    I'm coming back in a couple of weeks for 1-1/2 months. I've noticed on my other trips that Thai's love to charge farang's extra for things. When Zoey & I went to Krabi for a long boat trip to Hong Island I had to pay an extra 400 baht for what I call "farang tax." Zoey told me about it before we went & said it's just the Thai way. Most Thai's think that people from the US are rich. We aren't!!

    I am visiting Thailand again in October, I agree with the correspondent below about the step rise in air fares, and the Thai Baht appears to be strengthening against the English pound, so cost of my trip will be much more expensive, 300 Baht on that basis is not a problem, but it should go to good use.
    Who knows, with the way of Thailand
    decision making, it might not happen !
    Glad you are back home, hopefully you and family can sort out all the damage.

    It is not a big amount, but the purpose of it is doubtful.. Many of the main attractions already charge extra for foreigners (local and foreigners price)..

    Hello Teya, I'm citizen of Latvia (30 days visa exemption country). At the end of this year I am going to visit Thailand. My arrival in Bangkok will be on December 11, 2023, and the flight back from Bangkok to Latvia will be on February 8, 2024. Also, I am going to visit Malaysia during this period. My flight from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur will be on January 5, 2024, and on January 13, 2024 I will fly back to Bangkok from Kuala Lumpur. Please tell me, do I need to apply for a Thai visa for this trip. I ask this question because I'm not sure is it possible to leave Thailand for such a short period of time and return there again for a new visa-free period.
