Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax

[Big Boy]

Translates as:

Revenue Department
4 travel tax card
leaving the kingdom
Tax amount 1,000 baht
Tax payment date

This card can be used to travel outside Kingdom
within 10 days from the date of tax payment

That date stamp says 2533 and it’s now 2567 so it’s 34 years ago - no wonder nobody can remember!!

I did - still in shock at having to pay it after donating all of my spare Thai cash to Outlaws

^34 years ago explains the 1000bt because I remember always paying 500. I also remember that they finally came up with a vending machine for the ticket not long before they got rid of it altogether!

From what I remember and read, the 500 baht machines closed down in 2007. The tax was increased to 700 baht and the airlines were made responsible for it's collection and for onward payment to the AoT.
