ORIGINAL POSTER

There was some talk that visa exempt for Australians was to be reduced from 60 to 30 days. I’ve heard nothing confirming this - is this still likely tk happen?

TLDR : Answer Summary

There were discussions about reducing the visa exemption period for Australians from 60 to 30 days, primarily fueled by negative media coverage of tourist behavior in Thailand. However, recent comments indicate that this proposal seems to have stalled and has not been confirmed or implemented.

It was a proposal in March and nothing more came of it.

All because of a period of time where the news was filled with tourists behaving badly, and Thais were sick of it. Seems to have died off now.

There was some press chatter about this a few months ago. Nothing came of it. Whether it will in the future - who knows.
