It remains unclear, why this is a subject here. Such fees are, like traffic rights payment, parking fees for aircraft etc. a part of an air ticket price and this increase will not make or break air travel.

Please, I am intrigued, explain the link between airport security and the Catholic Church!

Hahaha…

just like a comment in another post - that says Thai hotels will make the fewer tourists pay more since there are now less tourists … we are seeing the same idiots making the few tourist pay more because there are now fewer tourists coming to Thailand 

😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Thai mentality  …. 🤣🤣🤣 totally defy macro economics 

Retards!

Another filthy  proposal to create the new source of  Easy Billions into the pocket of 0.1% of the kingdom.

This time, in the name of Security Enhancement.

and there we have it folks. For those that love Thailand, as I do, I find it very difficult to understand their reasoning. 
Thailand is a beautiful place to visit and live,   sadly being driven into the ground by governing bodies who are driving tourists away to more welcoming destinations.  
Sad times ahead for the Kingdom of Thailand, me thinks. Stu.

Thailand is a lost cause, played out, lost its soul. The only people who visit have no imaginations. 

It’s my imagination that keeps me coming 😉

because they all have a cross to bare and they have to go in the hold

That'll bring the tourists back in droves! OK a small amount of money, but bad timing!!!

I guess it is per flying mile? 🙂  Hiring a drone will soon be cheaper.

It does however represent a 5-10% increase on average fares for domestic budget airline flights.

25 Baht? Why is this even news worthy, Pattaya must have been very quiet today...

To be fair, these sort of things need to be promulgated to the people via the media. Sometimes it is required by law to do so. But, yeah, I agree with you that the news on this site should reflect more what its readers have an interest in and are affected by. Ten baht here a hundred baht there... I'd be amazed if any of the readership here cares a whit about any of this sort of thing compared to multitudinous events that they would be interested in.

Thailand tourism announced 7.10 decrease in tourists, go to any malls it appears it is 71 % decrease

In response to decreasing revenue despite passenger growth, CAAT plans to increase the international travel fee to 25 baht ($0.80) and levy additional charges for landing and take-off, air cargo, and aviation fuel. Manat noted that CAAT’s annual revenue is approximately 1.2 billion baht ($38 million) but faces a decline as technology and security expenses rise.

Maybe spend the revenue a little more wisely instead of a percent being leached off.

Try a cruise ship as an alternative 

More like greed, plain and simple...
