For those planning year-end travel, the "Thai Tiew Thai Plus 2026" program is ready to help save your budget with subsidies for accommodation and discounts on various travel activities.
This registration round includes some changes in details and procedures. To avoid missing out, it's important to review all information thoroughly—covering eligibility, assistance amounts, and how to prepare before registration officially opens.
This measure aims to stimulate domestic tourism and the economy, clearly defining basic eligibility to fairly distribute benefits nationwide. Prospective registrants should carefully verify their details before the system opens as follows.
Those who have previously registered for government tourism projects should recheck that their personal information and phone number linked to the app are current to prevent issues during identity code confirmation.
A special feature this round is increased support focusing on income distribution to secondary cities, dividing discounts into two main clear parts.
The government subsidizes 40% of the actual room price, butnot exceeding1,500 baht per room per night, with each person entitled toa maximum of5 uses (5 nights). These can be booked separately for multiple trips or consecutively for a single journey.
Eligible participants will receive digital coupons via the Paotang app valued up to 2,000 baht throughout the program. These can be used as discounts on food, entrance fees, and at participating merchants, with co-pay rates between 40–50%. Additionally, the coupon value is specially increased for travel in 55 secondary provinces nationwide.
Planning ahead is crucial as the program sets limited registration and travel periods. Key dates to note are as follows.
Furthermore, the program imposes a blackout period during the New Year holiday to avoid tourist crowding. Users cannot book discounted rooms during this time and should plan travel dates accordingly to avoid this period.
Since the program limits participation to only one million nationwide, preparing your app and device in advance is critical to securing benefits. Recommended steps include:
Ensure your smartphone runs the latest OS version and update the Paotang app through the App Store or Google Play Store before registration day.
Open the Paotang app, go to the G-Wallet page, and verify your account shows successful identity confirmation. If additional verification is needed, complete it via Krungthai Bank’s grey ATMs or branches.
Review the list of participating hotels and businesses in your target provinces beforehand so you can book immediately when the system opens, avoiding delays on the registration day.
Set an alarm on your phone 15-30 minutes before registration opens to queue up and enter your details quickly.
For those planning travel from late rainy season through early next year, the Thai Tiew Thai Plus 2026 program clearly helps save on accommodation and food expenses while supporting local tourism businesses.
Because benefits are limited, it is advisable to check the Paotang app and G-Wallet status now and stay updated on official registration dates from the Ministry of Tourism and Sports or the Tourism Authority of Thailand to avoid missing this important opportunity.
