Let’s be honest they created it so that freelancers who want a more flexible and travel rich lifestyle will choose thailand as a destination so they spend their foreign income in their country lol!!
Personally I think the resistance that’s brewing atm is mainly due to their disdain of foreigners caused by a few idiots ruining it for us all, acting like they own the place and not respecting Thai people and the customs…. There’s a growing concern and as a consequence they are being more difficult.
Ultimately Thai govt want our hard earned cash in their country and it’s a great move for sustaining long term tourism numbers and injecting foreign money!!
Can’t see this visa being changed or cancelled anytime soon!! 🙌🏽
