Popular Post kwilco Posted Tuesday at 09:30 AM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 09:30 AM Given the publicity in the EL media at the beginning of the month, I thought it was given more credibility than normal or are we to assume that as ever it was just a flash in the pan? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about those, like me, who had booked flights for the end of May, then learned that had they booked for a few days later would have gotten 60 days, proceeded to kick themselves, and now know that they suffered a sore backside for nothing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crysev Posted Thursday at 11:38 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:38 AM My observation, there are different factions in the Thai government. The Tourism ministry always supports easy visas and more tourists and the Immigration ministry and ruling elites who are already rich and do not care very much about the economy are more anti-tourism So the Tourism ministry will announce these things, but there is no approval-- Eventually the elites are pressured by the government economists and advisors to allow things like weed or more tourists because the GDP is falling, but the elites always demand some concession like temporary approval only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where should people look to get these 'confirmed reports'? Your own government's travel advice website? Thai embassy / consulate websites? The vast majority of these were 'updated' to show that, from 1st June, travellers would receive 60 days under the visa exemption scheme. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I wonder how many people would know to go there, never mind filling in the extensive 3 page forms, after dismissing the advice given by their own government and Thai representatives? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
