The tourism minister plans to take "Thai Thiao Thai Plus" to cabinet on 22 Sept, with 4 billion baht from the loan act and 1 million rights. Hotels: the state pays actual cost up to 2,000 baht per right; hotels must submit price documents at registration to block price hikes. Coupons (1,500 baht in main cities, 2,000 in secondary cities, 50/50 co-pay) now also work at spas, massage shops, souvenir shops and dive/boat tour packages. Registration is expected from early October; use dates are 1 Nov–15 Dec 2026 and 16 Jan–28 Feb 2027, with a gap 16 Jan–15 Feb. Operators should prepare current price evidence and check whether their services qualify.
