Al airlines collect the airport tax for  entering NZ including Thai airways, its not a problem and not even mentioned on your ticket except maybe for includes taxes.

Which is fine.  But this 300 baht is not for everyone, hence their dilemma.

Next -The easiest mode of collection will likely be built into the air tickets …

You need to explain how that works at land borders.

 

The air tickets have been done to death, any online approach could only be done through the embassies/consulates such as ETA and tourist visa fees.

The end result could well be manual collection by some other means, like you get in other countries.

Quite, it is problematic for airline surcharges to be selective. The only one I am aware of is the UK's Air Passenger Duty which is based on ticket fare class, something the airline can recognise.

Passengers nationality and visa status are non starters.
