Blah, this guy doesn’t know anything. Some simple Simon plumber or some manual labor. The reality is they are looking to reduce the exemption period from 60 days to 30, for financial exploitation.
Living like a local in Thailand can cut your expenses by nearly 50%. There’s no need for overpriced transportation, inflated hotel rates, or expensive restaurant meals when you can cook at home and rent a motorbike. The goal here is to squeeze more money from travelers.
