If your ticket already includes this PSC, likely (but not absolutely) on tickets purchased ~ Nov 2006 and later, then no worries. If your ticket was purchased earlier then be preapred to pay the 700 THB at check-in.

I have four international departures ticketed, and three have the PSC. (One of these is an award and the PSC was included in the taxes and fees.) One was purchased ~ 8 months ago so I expect to have to pay 700 THB to UA when I check in.

Thanks for this information. If asked at check-in to pay the tax, will the airline accept credit cards? Or will it be cash only, as the previous system was?
