  "account": "Thailand is contemplating a departure tax of around 1,000 baht, or approximately Rs 2,836, that travelers leaving the country might have to pay. This proposal could add to the expenses for Indians traveling to Thailand. Both Thai citizens and foreign visitors would be subject to the levy, with separate fees potentially being applied to those arriving by air. However, the proposal is still under consideration and has not yet been enacted. Travelers planning trips to Thailand should not assume the departure tax is a current charge.",
