Airport Departure Tax

[MisterMan]

Hi I am having a debate with my collegue..

I know the airport no longer has the tax booth.

However I think that ALL the airlines add the airport tax for flights outta Phuket but my colleague says that SOME airlines don't add it and you must pay it at the counter when you check in.

Does anyone know FOR SURE ?

Thanks in advance.

Don't think there is even the payment booth anymore, and even with budget airlines it's added to the ticket fare.

exactly

but maybe some of the check-in staff do fill their own pockets that way.....

No, included in all fares for all airlines.

It has been scrapped across the board for some time now..over a year at least.the airlines pay a levy to the government so you not have to worry.
