TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, travelers can currently receive a 60-day visa exemption on arrival in Thailand. There is no official date announced for changing this policy back to the previous 30 days, and the situation may remain as is for the time being, partly due to concerns about declining tourist numbers.

Still 60 days.

They will probably delay a decision to change it, as the tourist numbers have dropped.

The minister of tourism is alarmed and calls it a crisis.

So, for now, just relax and make your plans.

As I have been stating on this site on many occasions! Tourism is absolutely vital for it's contribution to the Thai economy! They will not want to harm that in any way!
