This has been applied by U S Tax Authorites for years so why not Thailand. Reading the article appears need to bring the revenue into Thailand before it is taxed so if you leave it outside Thailand no tax will be incurred unlike other countries who tax world wide income regardless where it is kept.

Good Luck Bangkok Airways foresee trouble looms if you decide to implement this scheme.

Will he still be deputy PM when new Government formulated? 

Would be very surprised if he actually comes back at a time of such political termol. Don t blame him from wanting to return to his country who would not 

Money talks he has been elected on a manifesto unacceptable to the establishment.

Thailand has to realise that foreign tourists are a valuable source of income. Immigration does not reflect this as they are very unfriendly and are help bent on extracting even minimal amounts by ridgedly enforcing the rules for which they have discretion for instance I was marched  to a room and fined for an overstay of 8 hours because my flight had be cancelled. No one asked if there was a reason for the overstay just plain unfriendly treated like a criminal

Can't believe that a hotel billionaire is asking the Government to place a tax on his hotels accomodation perhaps his smile means he is joking if not he can always surcharge his accomodation and pay the surcharge to Government coffers or charity. Giod Luck

The U.S. Dollar is strong against most currencies in the world so not much Thailand can do about it but accept the devaluation and get on with life. Any attempt to keep the Baht artificially high could have a disastrous affect on economy including tourism.

The problem is not the rules but bad habits that have become accepted practices driving on the wrong side of the road not stopping at Pedestrian Crossing etc. Many driving without licenses.

The next step will be trying to charge as people leave. 

I think it was 50 baht the last time they did this.

Exit Tax started at 500 Bht purchased from machine prior immigration now 700 Bht included in ticket with other taxes. Samui Airport charges addition 300 Bht Government Airports 100 Bht payable by everyone including Thais.

No matter where they are politicians seldom go without a fight to remain in power.

Would be interested to know what this man is alleged to have done as must have been very serious to attract a settlement figure of Bht 200000 and who will actually receive this money 

Wise advice for travelling anywhere.

Cost of Air Tickets to Thailand already at least double pre pandemic levels resulting in some airlines not resuming flight schedules as routes no longer viable. If Thai Government imposes another passenger tax on arrivals and requires Airlines to collect it the additional administrative costs are likely to be additionally added by the airlines so best to add to exit tax payable by ALL including Thais
