Thai tourism operators are urging the Thai government to seriously consider measures to tackle overtourism. One of the proposed measures is a tourism tax of 300 baht (US$8.11).

Secretary-general of the Federation of Thai Tourism Associations (Fetta) Adith Chairattananon has said that the government should include solutions to prevent over-tourism, which was already visible in Thailand before the pandemic.

With a current projection of 40 million tourists, major destinations in Thailand like Phuket, Samui, and Pattaya are on the verge of facing over-tourism, Adith says.
