What is the Thailand Privilege Pass?
The Thailand Privilege Pass is a one-year membership that gives you a set number of Privilege Points to spend on Thailand Privilege services, such as airport VIP assistance, hotel stays, golf and the Elite Personal Liaison (EPL) concierge. It is issued as a digital card in the Thailand Privilege app.
Unlike the Thailand Privilege Card, the Pass does not come with a Privilege Entry Visa. It suits visitors who want the program’s services in Thailand and abroad, but already have a way to stay in the country or only visit for short trips.
How much does the Thailand Privilege Pass cost?
The Thailand Privilege Pass costs from THB 9,900 (Lite) to THB 500,000 (Corporate) for one year. Each package includes a fixed number of Privilege Points; the cost per point works out at THB 2,475 to THB 3,000.

| Corporate | THB 500,000 | 200 | THB 2,500 | 1 year | Companies sharing points among executives and clients |
Lite, Lifestyle and Beyond can be bought by individuals through Thailand Privilege’s registration portal or an authorized agent. Corporate is arranged separately for companies.

How much is one Privilege Point worth?
A Privilege Point has no fixed cash value. Buying points through the Pass costs THB 2,475 to THB 3,000 each, and what one point gets you depends on the service you redeem it for. Some partners give a percentage discount for one point; others charge several points for a hotel night or a concierge service.
| Redemption | Points | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Baba Beach Club, Phuket | 1 | 50% discount |
| Participating hotels | 1 | 40% discount |
| Thai driving license through the Elite Personal Liaison (EPL) | 3 | Concierge help with the application |
| Veranda High Resort, Chiang Mai, deluxe room | 5 | One room night |
| Veranda High Resort, Chiang Mai, higher room category | 10 | One room night |
Some partners, such as S Hotels & Resorts, give members a 20% discount without using any points. Redemption values are set in the Privilege Book and can change; check the current book before planning around a specific offer.
