Sourcing angles are editorial suggestions, not claims of provincial leadership. Listed places are not confirmed project visits, and no supplier participation is implied.

HOSTED BUYER · ESTIMATE

Estimate Your Airfare Support

Try an estimate without uploading personal documents. SAN must review and confirm the actual entitlement.

Your travel

Enter an IATA code to match its country, or enter the airport name and select its country. Use the airport where the journey begins, not a connection.

Enter the total for both outbound and return flights once. Do not enter a one-way amount or double an existing round-trip total. The departure cap cannot exceed your actual work-base cap.

Deductions · same currency as the receipt

Enter each item once. Tick “already removed” if it is already excluded from the amount above. Employer payment is not automatically deducted.

Your support estimate

Only enter the individual cap from your approval letter. Leaving this blank still allows an estimate using known caps.

Formula, rates and confirmation

The lowest of 50% of the eligible net round-trip fare, 50% of comparable Economy round-trip pricing, the approved individual cap (if any), the departure-airport country cap, the actual work-base country cap and THB 35,000.

Receipt: BOT commercial-bank average MID from the latest business day before actual payment; direct conversion to THB with normalized currency units. USD payout: approved THB ÷ (ECB USD/THB reference + 0.35). The two rate stages have different purposes.

USD payout uses ECB via Frankfurter, with the ECB provider fixed. Receipt valuation uses BOT commercial-bank average MID. For a currency absent from that primary set, ECB via Frankfurter is the disclosed fallback, subject to SAN disclosure before confirmation; missing primary history is not silently replaced. If neither source covers it, SAN must announce a fixed source before confirmation.

Confirmed THB and USD are locked with rate evidence and policy version. Later API updates never rewrite them. Cash denominations and remainder handling are pending.
