TLDR : Answer Summary

Thailand is reportedly planning to implement a new tourist tax, which is expected to increase from the current fee of approximately 800 baht to around 1260 baht. However, this tax has not yet been implemented, and when it does take effect, it will be included in the airline ticket price for air travelers. There are currently no details on how the tax will be collected at land borders.
