Felt 35 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Is there anyone who can confirm if the new increased airport tax already is in use. "Someone told me that if I bought the ticket in January you will have to pay the new airport tax even if you depart in January" I thought the new airport tax first come in function from 1. February. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 AFAIK The new tax (700 Baht) comes in on Feb 1st along with it being included in the ticket cost for departures on or after 1st Feb. I fly today PM, I expect to pay 500 Baht at the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

February. Thanks Yes, starting from 1 Feb. Departure taxes charged by the Airports Authority of Thailand will be increased effective from February 1st, 2007. 1. Flights within Thailand from THB 50 to 100 per sector 2. Departing International Flights from THB 500 to THB 700 These new taxes will be included in all paid and Award tickets for travel commencing February 1, 2007 onwards. Really shit.....If the airport is really up to international standard, l have nothing to complain.......But with such sub-standard airport......maybe they need more pocket money...

guardian Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Anyone departed or knows of anyone who departed yesterday or today? Tax included or seperate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendix Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Anyone departed or knows of anyone who departed yesterday or today? Tax included or seperate? Yes I flew out of Bangkok yesterday (1 Feb) to come to Manila. No need to pay airport tax; it's included in the price of your ticket. I had forgotten about it and walked past four airport tax booths, complaining under my breath cos they were all empty. Then a security girl came up and said "no need sir, already included in your ticket." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you start a thread and let's debate how we should kill her for her lack of manners and politeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
