泰国旅游和体育部长日前表示，内阁于周二批准，从6月开始，除一日游游客外，国际游客的入境费征收标准将定为150泰铢和300泰铢两种。
Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said the 300-baht rate would apply to visitors who arrive by air and the 150-baht fee was for those entering the country via water and land transport.
Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn部长称，通过航空方式入境的游客，将每人征收300泰铢的入境费，而通过陆路和水路方式入境的游客，则每人征收150泰铢的入境费。
The fee was cheaper for those arriving by water and land because they were likely to stay in the country for only a few days, the minister said.
这位部长表示，那些通过陆路和水路方式入境的游客的费用之所以更便宜，是因为他们可能只在该国停留几天。
Visitors who do not stay overnight would be exempted from the fee.
