Just probably a silly question, but I'm travelling to Bangkok next week for 10 days holiday. Travelling on Aussie passport. Do I require an E visa before arrival or can I just get visa on arrival? Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

As an Australian passport holder traveling to Bangkok for a 10-day holiday, you do not need an E visa before arrival. Instead, you will receive a 60-day visa exemption stamp upon entry, which allows you to stay without needing to apply for a visa or qualify for a visa on arrival.

I arrived from the Netherlands Oktober 23 (Dutch and Australian nationality). Leaving this Thursday, 58 days, so visa-exempt.

At the airport at passport check, they didn't even ask when I was planning to leave... no copy of my return ticket. Not even where I was going to stay... Just visa pages check, facial recognition and digital fingerprints.

I was here also in January/February 30 days, and in March again 12 days... (Australia in between).

You don't need a visa but you also do not qualify for visa on arrival. You qualify for visa exempt which isn't a visa, it's just a 60 day entry stamp.
