Absolutely! Negativity can ruin lives,please keep it to yourselves!

I love your encouraging reply Max! Respect! 😁

I have an issue with these comments about abusing the system. If one is granted a visa exemption stamp, currently valid for 60 days,( maybe to be reduced to 30,but watch this space) then that is obviously authorized by the Thai immigration authority. And if one then does a border run to acquire another 60 days,and is permitted to do this again by Thai immigration,what is the issue? If the Thai authorities didn't want to authorize this they wouldn't!

That's what's planned,but changes take time in Thailand as I'm sure you know; and often don't even get implemented! Watch this space; and how important to Thailand is tourism? Very much so,the 5th biggest industry!

Or visit Cambodia,Laos,or Vietnam,for far less money! Beautiful,and compared to Thailand unspoilt!

But Craig Thailand needs the entire world for it's tourism,the 5th biggest part of their economy! And they know that,so just deal with the lawbreakers and undesirables; not rocket science!

But Frank it is Thailand's 5th biggest industry! They can't afford to be without tourism! It brings in massive income! The Thai authorities should deal with the lawbreakers!

Thailand is regressing in many areas! And considering it's neighbours all welcoming tourists,this is a wrong move in my opinion!

Just deal with those breaking the law,don't punish all the genuine tourists/ visitors,who contribute generously towards the Thai economy!

I gather nothing has changed as yet officially,changing back to 30 days is being considered,but actually hasn't occurred yet.

Though you seem to have had an unfortunate experience. Giving the impression of a lottery! Very unsatisfactory.

I was/am thinking of returning to Thailand; but when you have the attraction and cost of for example Vietnam nearby,it does make one reconsider!
