Time to do more cutbacks.

Reduce list of visa exempt countries.

Speed up with the Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA).

Stricter enforcement of existing rules at the checkpoints (onward/return flight, financials).

It was only implemented as a short-term measure anyway so nobody should be surprised.

Exactly. If it was designed to be a permanent change then could have scrapped the SETV at the same time.

Clearly was a temporary move along with being trial run to access impact

Thats a very good idea but why not cut all free visas. Do they really believe that the trouble makers will behave themselves by changing the law. While they're at it all entertainment establishments should close down by midnight. How man assualts and traffic deaths occur  between midnight and 4 am?

They would lose millions of tourists.

I fail to see the correlation between visa free entry and working illegally and/or owning illegal businesses...

 

Am I missing something?

If they cut out all free visas they would get some idea the type of people about to enter Thailand> some of the visa applications would be refused before they arrived here,

Cambodia gets 2.3m tourists. Thailand 28m. Visas kill tourism. Only 500 bad eggs, kick em out and ban them for 5 years.

In Phuket, licenses for 15 tour companies were cancelled due to violations. There was even an instance involving a Thai committee member appearing as an owner across five different company names, further highlighting the exploitation of business regulations.

 

And what does that have to do with an extended duration of VFEs?? 🤔

Vietnam gets 13m. They have stricter visas.

More tourist attractions, better beaches, better marketing.

 

Here is how it works in Cambodia. You go to Angkor. You leave.

Not good news for me, I was going to come after June to stay for a while. But, I am not going through the 30 day tourist visa again.  That is a pain in the A$$.

The day will come when they are drunk and bold enough to actually come up with a 'tourism' campaign like that, I'm sure... 😆 

You could call it the Buffalo Rescue Campaign:

 

Tinkling Thai Music

Fast Cuts to bucolic fields with pretty girls and Buffalo

Cut to Dead Buffalo

Pretty girl sobbing, villagers look on wailing

Deep Voice, (Sam Elliot drawl or even David Attenborough for that touch of English class)

"Thousands of innocent Thai farm girls have their lives ruined because their Buffalo dies".

"Please help us save these innocent lives"

"Contribute today."

"Save the Buffalo"

Cut to teary eyed beautiful Thai girl, looking down she gazes into your eyes and whispers brokenly "Thank you, kah", then smiles "I lub you", fade out, bank details on screen.
