Hi, I'm traveling with a U.S. passport for a 25-day trip to Phuket, and wondering if I need to obtain a tourist visa, or whether the visa exemption applies?  Any insight is much appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary

As a U.S. passport holder, you can enter Thailand under the visa exemption rule, allowing you a 30-day stay. However, it is necessary to obtain a Certificate of Entry from a Thai embassy or consulate prior to traveling. Additionally, there may be upcoming changes to travel restrictions and quarantine rules, so it's advisable to check the latest information before making travel arrangements.

As a side note, important relaxation of rules and quarantine periods are supposed to, maybe, if they get their shit together,by November 1st. You may want to wait if it works into your planned dates before booking anything.

For a US passport holder you can get a visa exempt entry that would allow you 30 days on entry. Currently you would still need to obtain a certificate of entry from a Thai embassy/consulate prior to travel and all that pertains to get one.
