TLDR : Answer Summary
A Chinese citizen can stay in Thailand for only 60 days without a visa. If they hold a multiple entry visa, they can remain longer than 60 days during a 6-month period. However, upcoming changes to visa policies may limit the number of visa-exempt entries allowed per year, and details are expected to be clarified soon.

Could be a busy period for the thai embassies in the countries around thailand aswell as for those people already planning on visiting thailand and on their 3rd visit ? The question of will they or wont they let me in I'm sure will be asked more than usual.

There’s a new set of rules coming in to effect on Monday. We don’t know full details as yet but it appears that only 2 visa exempt entries will be allowed per year and extensions will be restricted.

As of Monday we may know more specific details.
