Not to hijack the information in this post, but I would be very interested to know if a person was injured like this and they had entered and paid the future THB 300 entry tax, how much would that fund pay for medical costs ?

Here are some countries that charge for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) and the typical fees associated with them: 1. Australia: AUD 20 (approximately USD 13) for the ETA. 2. Canada: CAD 7 (approximately USD 5) for the ETA. 3. New Zealand: NZD 12-35 (approximately USD 8-23) for the ETA, depending on the processing option. 4. Turkey: USD 50 for an e-Visa, which functions similarly to an ETA.
