Travel lovers, get ready! The government is preparing to launch a new innovative tourism stimulus program called "Thai Tiew Thai Plus" to revive and inject circulating funds into the country's tourism economy. This follows the success of past tourism stimulus measures. For those planning a year-end getaway, check here for details, conditions, and the expected registration opening date.
The projected schedule anticipates opening registration and allowing use of rights starting from 1 Oct 2026 (coinciding with the high tourism season in the fourth quarter).
Current status: The program is in the process of finalizing criteria and submitting budget approval to the Ministry of Finance.
Must be a Thai national.
Must be at least 18 years old on the registration date.
Must have a national ID card and a mobile phone number capable of receiving OTP codes.
Must not be on the list of individuals suspended from other government economic stimulus measures.
When booking accommodation, the government subsidizes 50% of the cost (users pay the other 50%), with a maximum discount of 3,000 baht per night.
Quota limits: up to 5 nights per person, with a total of approximately 500,000 rights available across the program.
Digital tourism vouchers (E-Vouchers): Receive a 500-baht coupon per right for discounts on food, community stores, car rentals, or one-day tour packages.
Applicable locations cover all 77 provinces across Thailand, with no restrictions on weekdays or holidays.
This program emphasizes convenience and security by operating through the government's main application:
Download and update: Download or update the "Paotang" app to the latest version.
Link G-Wallet: Complete identity verification (KYC) in the G-Wallet system.
Plan your trip: Since the total rights are limited to 500,000, it is advised to plan travel dates and select participating hotels in advance, as allocation is on a first-come, first-served basis.
