The regulation signed by Interior Minister General Anupong Paochinda waives the room fee levied on hotels under the Hotel Business Fee Ministerial Regulation BE 2558 from July 1, 2020 until June 30, 2022 in order to help alleviate the financial burdens of operators who have suffered from the impact of Covid-19.
