Just enough time to rip one last 60 day border bounce for good measure,

. Yahtzee!

Why would anyone risk their standing in the eyes of Thai government to appeal to anonyphobic folks on a monitored Facebook group? Pearls for swines.

Use your head, Group Expert. This is not Disneyland. You don't need anyone (anonymous or not) to outline the economic incentives.

Hotels can cry all they want, but Airbnb cannibalizing that market can't be fixed by clipping visa exempts. Hotels have been (value) complacent long enough. Separate discussion from visa revenue.

Notice how they're also more frequently hassling both exempt and DTV entrants at random to increase fast track (safe entry) sales. Not a crackdown but a business move.

As long as fast track remains for sale in the open, nothing changed. It's all about the revenue.

60 day exemption will likely be reduced to 30 to restore significance of SETV, METV, DTV and Elite. It was temporary bait.

Nothing to do with hotels (stakeholders).

DTV is a great cash cow, but most people won't spend 65-70K (agent prices) on a guaranteed soft power DTV as long you can do unlimited 60+30 day border runs for 4000 THB. Now they're trying to shift that volume to DTV sales.
