A pleasant day to all. Can someone please share if he/she recently entered Thailand on a "Visa Exempt Entry". I am going to Thailand on December (coming from the Philippines) and although I can get a Non-O Visa, I plan to just avail of "Visa Exempt Entry" to save money. Thank you for sharing. (Edited)

You don't get visa on arrival from the Philippines. You get visa exempt entry, good for 30 days. Visa on arrival is for nationals from India, China, and some other countries that give you 15 day entry only.

From the Philippines you get a visa exempt entry, not a visa on arrival. Semantics but it’s a big difference.
