I'm looking an official website with the most up-to-date, accurate information on visa requirements in English (U.S. citizen). Any suggestions? Thanks for your helpful responses.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Several suggestions were made for U.S. citizens seeking updated information on Thai visa requirements. Key recommendations included checking the nearest U.S. Thai Embassy website, specifically mentioning the Thai Embassy in Washington D.C. and its website (thaiembdc.org) as a reliable source. There was also discussion about the lack of updates regarding the Sandbox scheme, indicating that governmental decisions could be delayed until officially published. Additionally, some users suggested alternative news sources like the Bangkok Post, though opinions on its reliability were mixed.

Kathy Eagle Justice. It might be because it has not yet been gazetted? Embassies are a division of Foreign Affairs, who will not publish any government decisions until they are officially gazetted. Airlines, hotels, travel companies are private enterprises and can therefore publish what they like, and take customer's money accordingly! 🤣🤣
