Hua Hin household waste fee rises to ฿50 on 17 November

What has changed

Hua Hin Municipality’s monthly household waste charge is due to rise from ฿10 to ฿50 on Tuesday 17 November. For households producing up to 120 kilograms a month, local reporting on the municipal announcement puts the charge at ฿40 if the household qualifies for the lower disposal rate by separating its waste.

How the charge is calculated

The ฿50 total combines ฿30 for collection and transport with ฿20 for disposal. For households that qualify for the separation rate, the disposal part falls to ฿10 while collection and transport remain ฿30. The 50% reduction therefore applies to the disposal charge.

The municipality has separate arrangements for businesses and other premises with more than 120 kilograms of waste a month. Hua Hin Localplus reported that higher volumes are charged in tiers. Businesses should confirm how the municipality measures their waste and which tier applies.

What residents should check

If the municipality collects your waste directly, ask its Public Health and Environment Department how it assesses separation and applies the lower rate. Local coverage did not set out how residents claim the rate or how the fee applies to buildings with private collection.

If you rent or live in a condominium, check whether your landlord or building office handles collection charges. The announced figures relate to Hua Hin Municipality, so households outside the municipal boundary should check with their own local authority.
