Thailand Puts Controversial 1,000-Baht Exit Tax on Hold

Thailand has postponed its proposed 1,000-baht departure tax, which would have applied to both Thai citizens and foreign tourists leaving the country by air.

Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas announced the decision on October 22, citing economic uncertainty, rising energy prices linked to the Middle East conflict, and concerns about burdening travelers and airlines.

The government also wants to protect tourism during the busy year-end season.

The tax has not been cancelled, and no new implementation date has been announced. Public consultation remains scheduled to run until October 29.

Importantly, Thailand’s separate 450-baht tourist entry fee is unaffected by the postponement.

Same same but different!

While Elon Musk presents a flying car, Thailand reinvents the motorcycle taxi industry.

Facts: Motorcycle taxi drivers in Pattaya and Bang Lamung are replacing their orange vests with blue ones.

The new vests will display each driver’s taxi stand location and identification card, making registered drivers easier to identify.

Blue was chosen to reflect Pattaya’s identity as a coastal tourist destination and distinguish local drivers from those operating in other areas.

The change is part of a wider effort to improve safety, regulate motorcycle taxi services, and address complaints about aggressive drivers and poor service.

In other words: everything will stay same same but now it happens in blue kaaaa!

Dear Farang,

I am writing to share an important update regarding my newsletters.
After much thought, I have decided to sunset both of them. My platform (Beehiiv) has decided to raise the yearly prices to run a newsletter – so the time has come to bring this chapter to a close.

Here is what you need to know about the timeline and what happens next:

1. Final Timeline & Website Shutdown
Final Email: This is the final email. Paid subscribers can cancel their subscription now.
Archive & Website: The newsletter website, products, tools and online archive will be taken offline during the upcoming days (until October 31, 2026).
2. Data Privacy & List Deletion
Your privacy matters. In accordance with data protection guidelines, your email address and subscriber data will not be sold, shared, or transferred anywhere else. The entire subscriber list will be permanently deleted once the platform account is closed.
3. Where to Find Me Moving Forward
While this newsletter is ending, the work and conversations continue elsewhere. I would love for you to stay connected with me here:
