What is the latest update on the introduction of ETA for entering Thailand?
Has anybody just arrived in Thailand or going in the next 3/4 weeks and has an ETA update regarding if/when it's gonna be introduced ?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the expected introduction of the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) for entering Thailand. Currently, there is no confirmed date for its implementation. While some speculate it could be introduced as early as February following a parliamentary vote in January, others suggest it might not happen until June. The conversation highlights the uncertainty regarding when the ETA will become mandatory and mentions the potential inclusion of a 300 baht tourist tax.

Hopefully like other countries that use this type of form, your airline will ask you to confirm you've applied. The UK govt website has up to date info on entry options/requirements.

Parliament votes on it in January. Will probably include the 300 baht tourist tax, so expect introduction in February

It isn't required and the best guess is June for when it might happen...
