There is absolutely no indication that it will be changed by August or even anytime this year..

It's only under review at the moment so who knows what the outcome will finally be..

Just assume it's going to remain 60 days until you get official Thailand government information that states differently

That's NOT a practical solution..

I think the guy is Australian so cannot enter Vietnam without a visa BEFORE he travels and that take at least 4 to 5 working days and $25 US dollars to get not to mention cost of airfare and time...

Visa extension is only around $50 US dollars and a couple a hours

Google is your friend..

Just Google how to resize digital images and you will find plenty of information and probably a few YouTube videos with step by step instructions..

You can crop and resize pictures on your phone quite easily as well with a little practice

Phnom Penh is an interesting city anyway and well worth a visit and good look around..

Don't forget to fill in your DTAC Thailand Digital arrival card on your next visa run..

You know, that new arrival system that immigration can use to provide visibility and reporting of every entry in and out of Thailand..

Welcome to the 21st century and digital monitoring your every move.. 😁

Interesting that you don't consider bribery of immigration officers abusing the system..

If these people attempted to enter through these borders solo several times each year without the assistance of an agency bribing immigration they would have been rejected a long time ago.

But if you are confident nothing will ever change and this will just go on forever then good luck 👍

I am far less confident than you.

I personally know several people who have been continually doing border runs by paying agents and entering on Visa Excemptions for several years ..

Are they genuine tourists ?

Absolutely not, and are they abusing the visa exemption entry system ?

Absolutely for certain they are and living in Thailand long term..

I fully expect thier run of luck bouncing in and out of Thailand could be coming to an end very soon.

I wouldn't be so confident of that..

There is a fine line between a genuine tourist and someone abusing the visa exemption entries..

I would suggest if you are doing more than 1 border run per year to remain in Thailand then you start to appear not to be a genuine tourist and someone trying stay longer the typical tourist would.

Who knows these days..

People getting rejected at the border is getting far more common..

Make sure you have onwards tickets especially for your 3rd entry as that's going to be the one they will scrutinize
