Thai Government Launches 'Travel Across Thailand with Tours' Subsidy Program
The Thai government has partnered with nine tourism associations to launch a new subsidy program offering up to 40,000 baht per trip for domestic tour packages.
On October 19, 2026, the Thai government announced the launch of the 'Amazing Thailand: Travel Across Thailand with Tours' initiative. According to Deputy Government Spokesperson Ploy-Talay Laksameesangchan, the program is a collaborative effort between the government and nine major tourism industry partners, including the Tourism Council of Thailand and various tour operator associations.
The primary objective of this campaign is to stimulate domestic tourism and support the grassroots economy by encouraging inter-provincial travel. The initiative offers financial subsidies for transportation costs, capped at 40,000 baht per trip. Travelers can choose from a wide variety of tour packages, which include themes such as religious, cultural, historical, nature-based, health, adventure, and CSR-focused tourism, as well as educational field trips.
For residents and travelers, this program represents a potential opportunity to reduce travel expenses when booking through participating tour operators. The government anticipates that this project will generate approximately 208 million baht in revenue. While the initiative has been officially announced, specific details regarding the application process, the list of eligible tour operators, and the exact start date for booking remain to be confirmed by the relevant authorities. Interested parties are advised to monitor official government announcements for further updates on how to access these subsidies.
