TLDR : Answer Summary

Currently, the visa-exempt ETA for Thailand is not in operation. Instead, travelers can receive a 60-day visa-free exemption upon arrival at the airport in Bangkok. It is confirmed that all plans regarding the ETA have been postponed indefinitely, and travelers are advised to simply show their passport and boarding card at immigration.
