Anybody planning to go back to the US?
Looking over your comment history, I'm not seeing Mensa Society, so you might want to pull back a little, as you might be speaking to the guy in the bathroom mirror. -

Report Thailand Eyes Passenger Fee Hike to Fund Airport Upgrades
Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post In a move aimed at bolstering infrastructure, Thailand's Transport Ministry has tasked Airports of Thailand (AoT) with exploring a potential increase in the Passenger Service Charge (PSC) at six major airports. The charge for departing passengers may see a rise of 100 Thai Baht, as the country examines its fees compared to international standards. Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit revealed the initiative, citing the need for thorough analysis. "We're looking at how our charges measure up to other major airports, like those in Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong," he explained. The findings are expected by September. Currently, Thailand's PSC rates might be below the global average, prompting the ministry to consider a hike. The additional revenue is intended to enhance airport services and fund a significant expansion project at Suvarnabhumi Airport, including the development of its southern terminal. “Most of our departing passengers are foreign tourists," Suriya noted. "If the study supports an increase, it seems justified, as the additional income will be invested in essential upgrades." The minister clarified that this consideration is unrelated to any liquidity issues or commercial income shortfalls for the AoT. Instead, it aims to align fee structures with international norms and better reflect the actual costs of services provided. AoT's acting president, Paveena Chariyathitiphong, confirmed the study is already underway. The primary goal is boosting income to transform Thailand's airports into key aviation hubs for Asia. The review focuses on upgrading facilities to enhance convenience, particularly for transit passengers. Once the study concludes, AoT plans to present its proposal to the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand and the Civil Aviation Board. The target is to have new rates in place before year-end. Presently, the AoT charges 730 Baht per international departing passenger and 130 Baht for those travelling domestically. With the proposed increase, these fees aim to secure the necessary investments for the future of Thailand's aviation infrastructure. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-07-25 -
