- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE

Thailand is launching a government-backed program to offer 200,000 free domestic flights to international tourists this fall. The initiative, titled Buy International, Free Thailand Domestic Flights, is a strategy to boost the country's tourism sector and encourage visitors to explore lesser-known destinations beyond major hubs like Bangkok and Phuket.

The program is set to run from September to November 2025. It will provide a subsidy of up to 1,750 baht (≈4,760 approx) for a one-way ticket or 3,500 baht (≈9,521 approx) for a round-trip ticket, which is expected to cover the full cost of most domestic flights. Each free ticket will also include a 20kg baggage allowance.
