We will put out a request as we have in the past for uncertainty:

If you or someone you know will be entering Thailand without a visa (visa exempt) tonight after midnight, please share your stamp so we can confirm the 30 vs 60 days.

You can post a photo of it in the comments, or send me a photo in a DM. We're just looking for verification if the changes will in fact be live on the 1st or not.

Thanks

*EDIT

We've received one report of a 30 day stamp after midnight. Awaiting a photo of the stamp and then we'll make a new post about it.

Please note that if we're able to confirm there is no 60 day stamp yet, do not expect anything to change until Tuesday as it's now a holiday weekend. But even then the PM's office said late June or early July, so we'll see.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The community is gathering confirmations on the current duration of visa exemption stamps upon entry into Thailand, specifically whether travelers are receiving 30 or 60-day stamps starting June 1, 2024. One report has confirmed a 30-day stamp was issued after midnight on the 1st, leading to questions about the impacts on family travel plans and visa extension requirements. The discussions also reference previous changes within the e-visa system.

When I arrive 5 June with a tourist visa allowing me an extra 30 days and the 60 days on entry is granted will that mean I can stay for 90 days total. This would save me applying for an extension of 30 days as I am planning to stay 90 days.

No, you would still need to apply for an extension. They are both only 60 days, and you can get a 30 day extension but you have to apply for that.

there won't be any changes to the evisa system until they actually make changes to visas which isn't planned for months as far as I can tell. This is just a change to visa exempt. But some places say June 1st, some say late June or early July, and some rumors say September.

So its a good move if someone is travelling group can come to know if its actually implemented ๐Ÿ˜Š

You do know I'm not the only moderator right? None of us know what is actually happening, including one the mods who is an immigration volunteer and talks directly to the higher ups at their office, who also have no idea what is going on right now.
