TLDR : Answer Summary
The visa situation for Australians traveling to Thailand remains largely unchanged. Australians can enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days. If they wish to apply for a visa, they need to use the online e-visa system. These rules are not new.

To be honest it's easy

I'm not sure what your asking about.

Australians now get 60 days visa exempt if they go to Thailand without a visa.

If you want to apply for a visa then you must apply online through the e-visa system.

Neither one is new.

so that means I don’t have to apply for visa now? I can just go there and get a 60day pass?

Yes for stays of less than 60 days (or 90 with an extension) you don’t need a visa.

@Nguyen *********
Yes, that's correct. 60 days visa exempt
