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 10 days, you do not need an E visa or visa on arrival. Instead, you will receive a 60-day visa exemption stamp upon arrival, which allows you to stay in Thailand for your holiday without pre-arranging a visa.

Welcome to Thailand. With your PP you’re all set for 10 day holiday. Enjoy

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).

yes, the pages in a passport are the visa pages... you get a visa stamp, sticker of visa exempt stamp. All related to visa...

Only the first page is the passport info. The rest of the pages are for visa.... (or exempt stamps). Any stamps regarding entry and exit...

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.
