Arrival By Air, 15 Or 30 Days?

[garyinthailand]

A friend of mine visited immigration in BKK recently and was told that the length of stay had been changed to 15 days, whether arriving by air or by land?

Is this correct? I know as recently as November arrivals by air got 30 days.

Thanks for any information. I think my friend may have gotten bogus information.

Western passports -- 30 days by air, 15 by land.

If he qualifies for a visa exempt entry the rule still is 30 days by air and 15 days by land.
