TLDR : Answer Summary
There has been no official announcement regarding the shortening of the visa exemption period from 60 days to 30 days beginning May 1st. While there were discussions about potential changes, community responses indicate skepticism about such a reduction, particularly in light of recent events affecting tourism. Many comments suggest that the Thai government may not want to discourage tourists, especially following a recent earthquake that impacted the country.
Sadbook is full of expat spurious comments on anything and everything to do with visas and living in Thailand. Take everything with a pinch of salt. Now I'm waiting for all the replies telling me I don't know jack shit ๐๐๐๐
Immigration officers themselves arenโt aware of their own Countries immigration laws & and procedures.
All so very & unnecessarily confusing.

The Earthquake maybe delay this proposed move. They need all the tourists they can get and each day they can stay longer..the move they spend ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ

No official announcement on visa period reduction. Since was first suggested there's been a serious earthquake which is detrimental to increasing tourism. In addition Thailand now has 25% tariff on vehicles to USA and 10% on everything else. Maybe now's not ideal time to discourage tourists.
Been heaps of info regarding it on various Thailand Facebook pages, Airlines probably don't care because if you forget or don't do it then you do it on arrival and delay your exit from the airport.
