Koh Samui's on the opposite coast, and is completely unaffected...

The 30 day entry requires you to have an outbound/return ticket within the 30 days. If you're planning on leaving overland or buying the outbound ticket in Thailand, you should apply for a tourist visa.

This one again, to buy or not to buy (a return), that is the question?

Hi everyone, automatic visa on entry into Thailand for up to 30 days. That is issued at Immigration as you go through you do not have to apply or go to special counter. I f you leave Thailand for say Laos, you will granted a further 30 days on re-entry back to Thailand. Don't do that too often otherwise you will be asked by Thai Officials the purpose of your continuing re-entry permits.

This is for Aus/NZ passport holders.

Anyone else have a variation on that?

You actually get a 30 day "PERMIT" on arrival.A "VISA" is the right to travel to a country and NZL/Aussie passport holders have a waiver on the visa requirement for Thailand.

Sorry if that sounds a tad anal, but thats the technically correct description/terminology.
