May I ask if all foreigners can apply for the entry to Thailand regardless of purpose? (no more limited to the previous 11 type permitted)

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, all foreigners can now enter Thailand irrespective of their travel purpose, moving beyond the previous limitations of 11 permitted visa types. However, it is advisable to apply for a visa that aligns with the specific reasons for travel.
