Thailand is considering a departure tax of 1,000 baht (around Rs 2,836) on travellers leaving the country, a proposal that could increase travel costs for Indians visiting the popular Southeast Asian destination. The proposed levy would apply to both Thai citizens and foreign visitors, while authorities are also considering a separate fee for foreign travellers arriving by air.
The proposal is still under consideration and has not been implemented. Travellers planning holidays to Thailand should therefore not treat the proposed departure tax as an existing charge.
