Planning a 3-Day, 2-Night Trip with Thai Tiew Thai Plus: How to Organize the Most Budget-Friendly Trip

Travelers, get your bags ready! The "Thai Tiew Thai Plus" tourism stimulus program is back to help save money. For those planning a relaxed 3-day, 2-night trip on a budget, here’s how to organize a trip that maximizes value and fully uses your benefits.

Check the conditions of "Thai Tiew Thai Plus"—how much can you get?

The "Thai Tiew Thai Plus" project is a co-payment scheme between the government and citizens via the Paotang app, focusing on distributing income to businesses nationwide, including main and secondary cities. Its key benefits include:

1. Accommodation discounts  

The government supports up to 2,000 baht per night (users pay the remaining balance), with a maximum of five uses per person.

2. Digital coupons  

For expenses on food, cafes, massage/spa services, car rentals, and tour packages (government covers 50%, citizens cover 50%).

• Traveling to main cities Receive coupons worth 1,500 baht per use.
• Traveling to secondary cities Receive coupons worth 2,000 baht per use.
• User eligibility Thai nationals aged 18 or older with a valid ID card and who have completed identity verification (KYC) on the Paotang app.

Plan a 3-day, 2-night trip to secondary cities for maximum budget savings

Choosing destinations in "secondary cities" (such as Nan, Phrae, Lampang, Nakhon Phanom, Phatthalung) grants E-Coupons up to 2,000 baht, significantly reducing daily expenses compared to traveling in main cities.

4 tips to scan coupons and book accommodations to fully use your benefits

1. Choose accommodations priced near the discount ceiling Select hotels or homestays with room rates around 1,500–2,000 baht per night to receive the full 50% government discount without paying a large price difference.
2. Use E-Coupons at local shops Digital coupons in the Paotang app can be used at participating restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops all day, instantly cutting your food expenses in half.
3. Book in advance when the system opens Because rights are limited, plan your travel dates and book hotels before the booking system opens to avoid fully booked rooms during holidays.
4. Avoid blackout periods Check for times when the project suspends rights, such as the New Year festival, to plan your travel during eligible periods.

Planning your trip in advance and choosing destinations aligned with the program’s conditions not only ensures a smooth and enjoyable 3-day, 2-night break but also helps distribute income to local communities and businesses effectively.
