VegasVic Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Does anyone have knowledge of a fee that is charged at the airport upon leaving thailand that must be paid in baht notes. I was going to cash in all my notes before leaving next week, but I remembered this topic coming up on thaivisa at sometime in the past and was wondering if this fee is still being charged? Thanks for any input regarding this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any input regarding this matter. The fee that you mentioned would be the airport departure tax of bht 500 per passenger. As of Feb. 01, 2007, the tax is included in your air tickets. So if you book and had paid your fare prior to that date, then you may have to pay that at the airport. You can actually note the difference in total paid, airfare cost add so and so, and so and so. Simpler, call the airline and enquire whether the departure tax is included in the airfare, so that you would feel at ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libya 115 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 You can change your Thai baht after proceeding through the airport-service charge point and immigration. Plus it is always useful to have some spare lolly for snacks, drinks and reading matter, departure side. As the above poster's have mentioned it depends on when you purchased your ticket.

There is also a charity box for Save the Children in the departure area, so toss the balance in there before you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGW Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I would guess, bearing in mind - TIT, that the tax will now be included in all tickets? at long last, but - dont quote me on that. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
