International Departure Fee Rises at Six Thai Airports

Thailand has raised its Passenger Service Charge for international departures from 730 baht to 1,120 baht per person. The 390-baht increase took effect on June 20 and applies at Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket and Hat Yai airports. Travellers will not need to make a separate payment because the charge is incorporated into airline ticket prices. The adjustment affects international passengers regardless of nationality but does not apply to domestic journeys. Thailand’s domestic Passenger Service Charge remains unchanged at 130 baht per traveller.
