According to the Bangkok Post, after the introduction of the tourist tax, Thailand plans to become the first country in the world to provide tourists with insurance policies.
Travelers will receive accident and death insurance, including the cost of repatriating the body. Thai Government Deputy Spokesperson Thraysuri Taisaranakul said the change should boost confidence among tourists in the kingdom.
Recall that Thailand will introduce a tourist tax from June 1: all arriving through sea or land borders will pay 150 baht, and through airports – 300 baht.
