DNP Premium Tier Pricing: THB 800-1,500 per Day at Five Flagship Parks
THB 800-1,500/day at Khao Yai, Doi Inthanon, Ang Thong, Mu Ko Similan, Khao Sok
The Department of National Parks rolled out a Premium Tier in Q3 2025 covering Khao Yai, Doi Inthanon, Ang Thong Marine, Mu Ko Similan and Khao Sok at THB 800-1,500 per day, against the legacy DNP general-tier price of THB 200-400 per day. The Premium Tier introduces daily visitor caps (3,850 per day at Mu Ko Similan, 1,200 per day at Khao Yai overlook zones), QueQ advance-booking integration, and revenue redistribution earmarked at roughly 35 percent for community-benefit projects. The pricing mechanism is the closest Thailand has come to Costa Rica-style differentiated entrance fees and is the structural anchor for the THB 18-32 billion 2027 market thesis.
