I have heard that with the new airport in BKK the airport tax will be 700 Baht. Can someone confirm this???

Also in February 2007 the tax will be included in the airfare!!!
I think this is a good idea.

I read about increasing the airport tax long time ago, I am still surprised it is still 500 baht. Maybe they delayed the raise due to the tsunami.

Is it the same for Bangkok (700b baht)? Wouldn't suprise me if there was a tsunami tax there also. Why don't they just raise it to a neat 1000 baht, seems to be the standard payment for eveyone else or maybe they are scared of being asked for "extras".

Yes, from Feb 2007 onwards the departure tax is 700.

Got the email from Air Asia.

I posted the email in the Air Asia thread.

What bout now? Is it still 500 baht? Just in case i will make sure i have 600 Baht in wallet when i leave.

..in my flight papers they say I have to charge 600 Baht..
..its all a little confusing...

Nautilus · #10 29-09-2006, 16:23

Then i better inform my mates, just in case, keep more baht.

The way I read it the departure fee are going up nationwide starting February 1, 2007. International will increase from 500-700 baht and domestic from 50-100 baht. AOT operates Suvarnabhumi Airport. It had will introduce the new taxes upon the opening of the new airport on September 28. Here are three sources:

Still 500 THB for international departures.

This week at Suvarnabumhi the tax was waived... Not sure when they start, or did start, charging here.

This means hopping a few days to another country also will make your trip much more expensive.....

I dont know if a 200 baht increase qualifies as 'much' difference in a international trip ??
