Proposal for Thais and permanent residents to be charged 1000 baht departure tax

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

They just charge short-term visitors for a visa instead, unlike Thailand, which has free entry to many nationalities

All Govts play this game of milking tourists for extra money, they do it in different ways :)

:facepalm:
This proposal has ZERO to do with tourists!
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Strictly speaking, they are. Unless they go on a business trip.
