And take your income with you to spend elsewhere! 😜

The wrong people are already entrenched in Thailand,and have been for years! 😂

And that is exactly what Thailand is suffering, according to the TAT!

Not as simplistic as you think! I have always used a visa exemption stamp,and never had an issue. Even when entering recently; a lot of questions and evidence on my mobile;no problem. But as I've often quoted and wish folk would check the facts, tourism is of immense value to the Thai economy. They can't afford literally to make it more difficult for foreigners, whom spend vast amounts of money here, to be refused entry. And again I've repeated many a time,and please check the facts, the TAT are challenging the government at every point,on the vitality of tourism in Thailand. The fifth biggest industry! Fact!

Thailand can not afford ,endex,to turn away free spending tourists. Or let's go spend our money in Viet Nam and Laos!.They'll love to receive it! And just remember there are a lot of wanted criminals in the West that are living here on ' proper visas!' Which the Thai authorities tolerate; though they are clamping down, allegedly! As for your generalization that the whole world is tightening visa requirements; hogwash! Be more particular in which countries,which I'll estimate you won't be able to do. Having been in the Civil Service in the UK for 20 years plus,I have an inking of knowledge into these issues!

Thailand is going to go down in the tourist league table! Absolute self inflicted harm! I can't comprehend the government's stupidity; especially as the TAT is advising against; and they are the experts on tourism! Viet Nam and Laos are going to love this!

I can't agree,as Thailand is desperate for tourists,hence keeping it at 60 days. The figures have already declined recently, which Thailand can ill afford. Especially as tourism is their 5th biggest industry.

Of course it doesn't guarantee one entry. I suggest there is no such right into any foreign county. But I found it very detailed,and glad I did it beforehand. After a 20 hours journey from London via KL, I wasn't in the best of form to complete at the airport.

Absolutely! Without doubt,as their numbers have gone down recently,according to the TAT.

Wrong! I completed the TDAC before arrival,and it was checked thoroughly by the Immigration Officer. I presented my mobile with the completed document within. She scrolled down until the end of such. Then stamped my passport advising me not to overstay. Of which I have no intention of doing so! I'm on a visa exemption stamp until the 4th August, then will most likely apply for another 30 days at Jomtien Immigration.

Not on flying in and out there isn't! Doesn't mean that will be acceptable, but that fact is stated!
