This week: tourist fees, UK's red list, whirlwinds and student jabs
The Tourism and Sports Ministry will start collecting a 500-baht tourism fee for a "tourism transformation fund" next year.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand governor said, "The additional cost won't have an impact on tourists as we want to focus on the quality market."
Thailand will be removed from the UK red list next week.
Many countries with high infection levels had been on the red list, requiring arrivals to spend 10 days in quarantine.
Many houses were damaged by whirlwinds which swept through Phra Pradaeng district of Samut Prakan.
