TLDR : Answer Summary

The ETA to Thailand has been postponed and is currently on hold, possibly starting next year due to the incorporation of a 300 baht tourism tax, which is pending approval in parliament.

Was about to ask the same question as arriving BKK in 2 weeks. Thanks for the heads-up. Anyone had a passport legalised at MFA Chaeng Wattana. When booking an appointment it says can take 2 days +. Thanks in advance

They've held it back because they're going to make the 300 baht tourism tax part of it, and it needs to go through parliament in January
