How is the 180-day visa calculation done for my recent entry in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTERNot a big deal but CM immigration stamped me for July 27th and I entered today on DTV Jan 29th. The extra two days would be nice or am I not calculating the days right?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on their 180-day visa validity after entering Thailand. They initially thought they had missed two days based on the stamp dated July 27 and their entry on January 29, but commenters confirmed that the 180 days includes the entry date as day one, leading to a total of exactly 180 days, not two extra days.

July or January?

They're correct. Even passports expire 5 or 10 years from the date of issue minus one day. So if your passport was issued on January 29, 2025, it will expire on January 28, 2035, not January 29.

not true at allPaul *******
@Nick ******
Very true. I am a holder of multiple nationalities and every country does it this way.Donna ******
@Paul ******
Every country you hold a passport for, perhaps. But not true for all. Not that we're getting into a pissing contest, but my son has 4 and I can tell you with certainty that it's not every country.Paul *******
@Donna *****
My son holds 4 too and it's the same for him. Expiry 5 years from the date of issue minus one day.Nick *******
@Paul ******
well I’ve just looked at my British passport and it expires exactly 10 years to the day of issueReply to

Are you saying they gave you two extra days or two few days?
Steve *******
You got exactly 180 days. You can just fly out and back in at any point and get 180 days from the day you come back. The DTV is great in that way 🥳👌
Michael ******
The IO is correct. The period between those dates is exactly 180 days. (Remember the entry date counts as day one.) Use a duration calendar to calculate.

That's exactly 180 days, which is the allowable amount. I can't see how it's an extra two days

It's 180 days. Not 6 calendar months. Would it have been 6 calendar months then the stamp would have said July 28th because both start date and end date are inclusive. So you only "lose" 1 day.
