What should I do about my visa plans if Thailand changes its entry visa from 60 days to 30 days?

Martin *********

The Visa EXEMPTION is 60 days, it may or may not revert to 30 days, if you enter the country the day before it changes you will get 60 days, feel free to ask the immigration officer if you can have 60 days because you bought the ticket so long ago, they can probably do with a good laugh at the moment.
