Interesting. In times of economic stress, governments don't want money being spent abroad. China also discouraging international travel by its citizens.

Nice to see a charge that Thais must pay but falang get for free (unless they are permanent residents).

Great idea. The Thai government has lost a lot of money on promoting domestic tourism. If they change that to penalizing Thais for traveling abroad with an exit fee, there will only be winners. 1,000 baht is a bit low though.

So 1900 THB for the re-entry permit and 1000THB on top of that. Great idea!

Thais (however wealthy) will hate paying it. I predict thay will exert a lot of effort to prevent it coming in.

wont pass, anymore than most ideas they come up with LOL
bet the 300 baht charge they have pushed off till sept, never happens as well

FYI: forgot to mention a re entry permit is 1,000 baht/shot or 3,800 multiple.

If you are working you need it. So you are practically living there (temporary resident).
