To CHdiver You wrote "All my friends in my homecountry go for not more then two to three weeks away for a holiday. Working people have around 4 to 6 weeks holiday a year. So 30 days is plenty. You are not talking about real tourists. You are talking about people wanting to stay long time in the country. They are not tourists imho." Disagree with you. When I was working I used to visit twice a year for 6 weeks each time for a number of years. Now that I am retired I visit here for 90 days once a year. To overcome this hysteria about will they or won't they revert the visa free period back to 30 days, I get a 60 day SETV and get a further 30 days once I am in Thailand. I am definitely a tourist.
