For those planning a packed day
Three to five attractions in the same city on the same day. This is the case where a pass is worth it.
One pass for several attractions in the same city, across seven cities, from 990 THB. And the comparison between them is not what you'd expect.
Check availability and priceFrom 990 THB, when booked in advance.
and what the price doesn't reveal
Three passes cost Exactly the same thing: 2,599 THB, and give a different number of redemptions: Chiang Mai 8, Bangkok 5, Pattaya 5.
and at the other end: The Phuket Pass is the most expensive at 3,599 and gives 5 redemptions from a catalog of 10 or more, while the Ayutthaya Pass costs 1,490 and gives 8 redemptions from a catalog of a similar size.
In other words, if you're deciding between cities, the difference between the passes isn't just geographic, it's also value.
And when not
A pass is worth it when you do How many attractions on the same day and in the same city. If your plan is one big attraction and a day of rest, a single ticket will be cheaper.
And in the same breath: the passes with 8 redemptions, Ayutthaya and Chiang Mai, these are the ones that require a truly packed day to justify themselves.

Two numbers for each pass, and the ratio between them is the whole story
Each pass has Two numbers: How many redemptions it gives, and out of how many options. Both are important, and those who look at only one of them are mistaken.
The number of redemptions It's what you actually get, how many attractions you can enter.
The catalog size It's how much freedom of choice you have. A catalog of 40 with 5 redemptions gives a rich choice but few entries; a catalog of 10 with 8 redemptions gives almost everything, without much to choose from.
And what breaks intuition: The price doesn't rank the seven. Three passes cost exactly 2,599 — Bangkok, Pattaya, and Chiang Mai — and one of them gives 8 redemptions while the other two give 5.
Three points that change the decision
Each pass is valid for one city only. This is not a ticket for all of Thailand, and this is the most common mistake. Take the pass for the city where you're spending a full day.
A pass is worth it only if you actually use it. Those who buy a pass with 5 redemptions and only use two paid more than for two separate tickets. The pass is a bet on your pace.
and therefore it suits those planning a packed day, three to five attractions in the same city on the same day. Those who tend to see one thing a day and sit in a cafe will almost always come out at a loss.
It's also worth checking What's in the catalog before you buy, not after. A pass with a large catalog that has nothing that interests you is worth less than a small pass that's entirely relevant.
and neither of them is what you'd expect
The first: Ayutthaya at 1,490 is the best ratio among the seven. 8 redemptions from a catalog of 10 or more, meaning almost everything in the area, at the second-lowest price.
Those planning a full day in Ayutthaya, which is a classic day trip from Bangkok, get almost full coverage there.
And the second: among the three passes that cost 2,599, Chiang Mai gives 8 redemptions while Bangkok and Pattaya give 5. exactly the same price.
That doesn't mean the Bangkok Pass is bad, Its catalog is the largest, and those who want a wide choice will find it there. But those who want maximum entries for their money, and the city isn't critical to them, will find the answer in Chiang Mai.
and the Phuket Pass is the most expensive and has the lowest ratio, 5 redemptions from a catalog of 10 or more, at more than three times the price of Ayutthaya, which gives 8. Those considering it need to check carefully that the five they'll actually use are worth it.
and for whom it's better to buy separate tickets
Three to five attractions in the same city on the same day. This is the case where a pass is worth it.
Each pass is valid for one city only. This is the most common mistake.
A large catalog that doesn't have what interests you is worth less than a small catalog that's entirely relevant.
Those who see one thing a day and sit in a cafe, separate tickets will come out cheaper for them.
