TLDR : Answer Summary
The current visa exemption on arrival in Thailand is 45 days until March 31st. While most travelers confirm this duration, experiences can vary, as one user mentioned receiving only 37 days. Additionally, there is a discussion about how early travelers can apply for a 30-day extension before the expiration of the 45 days, with recommendations varying by location.

Usually with 30 days remaining but some allow 45 days (Bangkok, Chuang Mai) whereas Jomtien will want you to wait until the final week
