I found a month to be a bit long. But up to two weeks is fine imo.

@Jeff ******

Well, I was in bed for 5 months following just such an accident this year so..

@Jeff ******

But not zero, as some in prison will tell you.

That's not actually true. Unbeknown to me, a CM immigration person failed to stamp the new visa date in my passport. When I got to BKK, all hell broke loose and I was shouted at and threatened. There was a distinct absence of a Thai smile. And I had the CM receipt etc. I got fined and an overstay stamped in my pp. On another occasion I went to Hong Kong. When I got into CM, I was told to get on a plane back to HK. The assumption was that I was working as I had so many stamps in my pp. I was not. They made it clear that I had to pay a bribe. There were 5 of them. And this has happened to many, many people. (The bribe they like is about 2000 I believe. I didn't know that as I've never had to pay a bribe in my life and so ended up paying 4.

Embassy's website has all the requisite information.

Still OK for me at least it seems:

'From 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023, British passport holders arriving by air or land can enter Thailand for 45days without a visa (a ‘visa exemption’).'

@John *********

Oh, I thought we still got 45 days. Arghh - arriving soon!

Much depends on the immigration officer. I did this many, many times and it was fine. However, on my return from a visa run to HK I had a terrible time in CM. I was shouted at, accused of working - I was not working - and told to get on a plane back to HK. That then seemed to change and then money had to be paid. It was a horrible experience and to be faced with 5 people shouting at me the day after a relative had died made it all the worse.

@John *********

45 days now..

@Gary *******

Mine wasn't.
