Hi! My mom and son are traveling here on May 12. Do you know if the 300 baht tourist tax is in place now? Do you know how they accept payment if it is in place? I tried to google, but was not getting a straight answer.

TLDR : Answer Summary
There is currently no 300 baht tourist tax for travelers visiting Thailand. Although there was discussion about possible implementations, it has not been adopted. Visitors should complete the TDAC (Thai Digital Arrival Card) prior to arrival, as this program starts for travelers entering Thailand from May 1st. Other fees may be included in travel tickets, but no separate tourist tax applies.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

you will need to have them fill out a TDAC before they come here

That program starts for people entering on May 1st onward

Don't worry no tourist tax so nothing to pay only your electronic arrivals card within 3 days of your arrival.

There's NO 300 Thai baht tourist tax.

Such a proposed tax never has been adopted.
