Thai Tourism Tax Expected by End of 2025
Skift Take
Starting late 2025, foreign tourists visiting Thailand will pay a 300-baht tax, which includes life and accident insurance.
Thailand’s tourism industry has begun the process of adhering to the European Union environmental regulations. They have until 2026 to adopt sustainable practices rapidly or risk being marginalized on the global state. EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive mandates all businesses operating within the bloc ensure their supply chains adhere to strict environmental and human-rights standards. Thai tourism operators must vet their partnerships with European tour operators, travel agencies, and hotel chains diligently. Failure to comply could result in the loss of European partnerships, which would deal a blow to Thailand’s competitive edge.
