Dashed good idea Old Bean

Doesn't matter what order you enter the stamps

Useful additions:-

It needs to do something with the 'rolling' 180 day period. Not sure exactly what yet.

A 'store' function (linked to a cookie or your username) would be handy so you don't have to punch in all your dates every time.

How about a function to print a (Thai) note to immigration saying you've done their job for them and showing your total?

Are you going to sell it to immigration?

Not much error checking yet.

You can enter a start day that is after the end date and it still calculates. You can enter a date range that is inside another date range and it calculates.

Agree, it needs a rolling 180 day window. One way to do so would be calculate the remaining days you can stay in your current 180 day window.

Print it off and hand it to the officer and there'll be one happy officer.

The rolling effect is taken care of by the calculator in your own head, or on the wall calendar. For example, my watch says today is February 6, so 180 days back is roughly six months before, or August 6 - more like August 3. But that is before the new rule's initiation on October 1, so don't worry about it until about March 28, 2007. After March 28, just don't count any dates that are more than six months old. If it's really close to 89 days on the calculator, get thee down to an embassy.

Dr. PatPong's idea of a printout is in addition to our earlier suggestion: before you get to the front of the queue, have a list of all times you have been into Thailand on VOA stamps, listed in chronological order, with a side note telling the page of your passport the stamp is in.

A printout button will be added, and some cosmetic changes.

Just a small nomenclature correction, though this could be used by people on VOA’s I believe it is mostly directed to people on visa exempt entries, a completly different type of entry.

Your comments, please!

That's a nice and useful tool ! Thanks.

BTW:

Is there any copyright on it, or could it be used elsewhere on web sites ?

I have a link available to an alternative USB date calculator with log file, reminder prompt, etc, if I am allowed to post it here. When I last tried this in another section I was severely reprimanded!

This thread is from 2007 when you could get 30 day visa exempt stamp at a land border.

The problem was that you could only get 90 days within 180 days.
