    UPDATE:

    Thailand makes sweeping changes for foreign travellers in record tourism bid

    Changes will be made for digital nomads, students and retirees

     

    BANGKOK: -- Thailand's government has announced sweeping changes to tourism in the country.

     

    Tourism is a key driver of Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy and a big source of employment.

     

    The country said on Tuesday it had approved longer visa stay periods for tourists, postgraduate students and remote workers, and better visa conditions for retirees, in a move to boost its crucial tourism sector as its economy stutters.

     

    Starting in June, Thailand will allow travelers from 93 countries to stay for periods of 60 days, up from the current 57 nations, while more will also be eligible for visas on arrival, government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke told reporters.

     

    Foreign students will be permitted to stay for an additional year upon graduation, while insurance requirements for foreigners seeking to retire in Thailand will be relaxed, he added.

     

    The new measures come as part of an effort to boost visitors, especially from its main and fastest-growing markets, by extending stay limits to 60 days from 30 days for on-arrival visas.

     

    The validity of so-called “digital nomad” visas for self-employed, remote workers will be extended to five years, from 60 days presently, with each stay limited to 180 days.

     

    Thailand recorded 14.3 million tourists in from January to May 26 this year and is targeting a record 40 million foreign arrivals for the full year, with revenue of 3.5 trillion baht ($95.73 billion).

     

    In pre-pandemic 2019, Thailand welcomed a record 39.9 million arrivals, generating 1.91 trillion baht.

    The Cabinet meeting agreed in principle on the implementation of measures and guidelines for facilitating inspections to stimulate Thailand's economy and tourism. All 3 phases

    The Cabinet meeting agreed in principle on the implementation of measures and guidelines for facilitating inspections to stimulate Thailand's economy and tourism. All 3 phases

     

    Today (28 May 2024), Mr. Chai Watchrong, Spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office It was revealed that today (May 28, 2024) the meeting The Cabinet agreed in principle on the implementation of measures and guidelines for facilitating inspections to stimulate Thailand's economy and tourism. All 3 phases as proposed

    by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SET) A spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office said Thailand had not updated its measures and guidelines for 22 years. Therefore, in order to keep up with the current global situation, it is necessary to review the measures and guidelines for visa inspection to be flexible and flexible, which is easy to check and facilitate travelers entering Thailand. The SEC proposes a total of 3 phases, summarized as follows:

    1.) Short-term measures (consisting of 5 measures effective June 2024) are:
    1.1 The grant of the right to exempt from visa inspection to stay in Thailand for no more than 60 days (P.60) is a unilateral measure of Thailand. P.60 will take into account the principle of reciprocity. Political Dimension and International Relations These include security, tourism, economic and commitments that Thailand has made at both bilateral and multilateral levels. 93 countries/territories comprising (1) eligible countries; P.30 was originally 57 countries/territories according to the announcement of the Ministry of Interior and (2) added eligible countries. P.30 New 36 Country/Territory
    1.2 Visa on Arrival (VOA) is Thailand's unilateral measure, and VOA eligibility criteria take into account the principle of reciprocity in the political dimension and international relations. Security dimension, tourism dimension, economic dimension and the absence of an embassy or consulate-general located in that
    country 1.3 A new type of visa has been added, Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), for skilled and digital nomad foreigners who wish to stay in Thailand to work and travel at the same time. It is also a destination for foreigners who want to do cultural activities and use medical services, but Thailand has not yet issued a visa that accommodates this group of foreigners, which is a group of people who have potential and will be beneficial to the country's development.
    1.4 Improving eligibility for international students entering undergraduate studies and above who have been granted a Non-Immigrant Visa (ED) to facilitate international students who are studying or about to complete higher education in Thailand. To attract potential and skilled people to the country's labor market
    1.5 The Inspection Policy Committee should be appointed as an important mechanism for formulating Thailand's

    surveillance policy. Medium-term measures (consisting of 3 measures effective from September – December 2024) are:
    1. Group and reduce the code for non-immigrant visa from 17 to 7 codes, which will be implemented by September 2024.
    2. Adjust the criteria and conditions for receiving the Long Stay visa for the elderly who wish to live the end of their lives in Thailand. It will be implemented by September 2024.
    3 Expand e-Visa service Currently, the SEC provides e-Visa services at 47 out of 94 embassies/consulates-general, accounting for 50 percent. Consulates General and all Thai Trade and Economic Offices around the world By December 2023
    7
    3.) Long-term measures (fully implemented in June 2025) are the development of an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system for aliens who are entitled to exemption from visa

    inspection. A spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office said the benefits from the proposed measures and guidelines will boost tourism and boost Thailand's economy affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to increase competitiveness with foreign countries, the visa facilitation model has been adopted as a measure to attract tourists. As follows:
    1. The number of foreign tourists able to enter Thailand has increased through visa exemption measures. The new type of immigration clearance from June 2024, which is during the tourist season of the Gulf of Thailand, is an important mechanism to achieve the government's
    target of total tourist revenue. Potential foreign groups such as digital nomads and others are interested in staying in Thailand both for tourism and remote work, which will create opportunities for these potential groups to consider doing business in Thailand in the long term. As a result, Thailand is a hub for people with potential in various fields to live and do business in Thailand, helping to generate and diversify income, as well as creating more
    employment and technology transfer.3 Promote Thailand as an international education hub Some higher education institutions start the semester in June, resulting in the number of international students interested in studying higher education in Thailand. In the commencement of the 2024
    academic year,
    the SEC has prepared an estimate of revenue loss and expected benefits under Sections 27 and 32 of the State Fiscal Discipline Act B.E. 2561 (2018), summarized as follows
    - Formulation of a list of countries and territories where passport holders or passport replacement documents temporarily enter the Kingdom for tourism, work or short-term business dealings. A total of 93 nationalities will lose about 12.3 billion baht per year (compared to 93 nationalities in 2023), including 4.5 million (4,000 million baht) in Visa on Arrival (VOA) fees. Tourist visa (TR) fee of 3,300 million baht
    - In the case of facilitating international students who are studying or about to complete higher education in Thailand. With the cancellation of the Re-Entry Permit, students must apply to the Immigration Bureau every time before leaving Thailand. It is estimated that the state will lose about 152 million baht in national revenue. Of the approximately 40,000 higher education international students in Thailand in 2023,

    Nah, bought this box from Lazada for 180bht, too lazy to cut my own holes

    https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i3877968807-s14851835737.html

    If you make your own, the polystyrene needs to be lined with a bin bag for extra strength.

     

    These cutting are from veg plants grown with female seeds, obviously you can take cuttings from any 'green stem' plant. If it's a MJ plant in flower it will take longer to root and look a bit odd for a few weeks, crowns also take longer to root. Usually the cuttings from a MJ plant in veg will take 5-10 days to root.

     

    I bought 2 bigger airstones for this box, same pump, 120bht each.

    Thanks for those responses guys. That plant was an unknown quantity, bought from a Thai guy under an umbrella on a little side soi in Jomtien. Said it was pineapple, supposed to be 50/50 indica/sativa. Anyway, it was overwhelming my 4x4 tent.

    I did take 2 clones, just cuz I hate to lose a strain!

    I'm growing several phenotypes of Wild Thai, a 100% sativa Thai landrace. They are doing just fine. All 3 phenotypes flowered in 9, 10, and 11 days from flip.

     

     

    How much cost on electricity to grow indoors here in thailsnd ?

    I'm growing indoors in a 5 x 5 Spiderfarmer tent with a Mars Hydro FC-E8000 LED light without supplemental CO2 and a Mars Hydro 6" duct fan and controller. 

     

    I am also using an Inkbird humidity controller connected to a humidifier and a dehumidifier.

     

    Temps range from between 27° to 35°C as I do not yet have air-con installed. So far no issues with heat except some tacoing of leaves when the light was up past 75% power. 

     

    I've got two fans inside during the night and an additional floor-standing fan when the tent is open during the day. 

    And your  electric bill is ? I bought the lights but haven't try them, so far been growing outdoor. Thanks

    Example: Genetics = Fastbuds   Strain = OG Kush Auto

     

    With more detail I can make a few sepcific recommendations.

     

    There are quite a few importers/resellers here.
