on the contrary I agree with what you say.I really think that The Thai
Immigration officers themselves arenโt aware of their own Countries immigration laws & and procedures.
All so very & unnecessarily confusing.

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.
