The New Indian Express

September 04, 2025

It aims to alleviate the pressure of overtourism on popular destinations like Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai and encourage visitors to explore lesser-known regions like Sukhothai and Ayutthaya

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.

The offer is exclusively for international tourists who book an international flight into Thailand.
