Bangkok airport fees: what you pay at BKK
Passengers leaving Suvarnabhumi on an international flight pay a passenger service charge of THB 1,120, up from THB 730 on tickets issued from 20 June 2026. Airports of Thailand sets it and airlines collect it inside the fare, so nothing is paid at the airport. Domestic passengers pay THB 130. A THB 300 tourism entry fee for foreign visitors arriving by air was approved in principle in 2023 but had been postponed, and we could not confirm that it is being charged.
