Will my short trips to Thailand as a Canadian passport holder still be allowed with the new visa exemption rules?

The recent changes to Thailand's visa exemption rules, limiting the number of visa extensions, may not impact travelers who are visiting for short trips. As a Canadian citizen living in the Philippines making brief visits to Thailand every couple of months, you should still be able to enter the country under the visa exemption program. Problems may arise, however, if your total duration in Thailand exceeds 150 days within a calendar year or if you frequently engage in back-to-back border runs. It is advisable to maintain a genuine tourist profile during your visits.
