Australians, the third-largest group of foreign visitors after Singaporeans and Malaysians, will still need a visa to enter the country, although tourists can buy one on arrival.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit,which would put you below an Issan bar girl,who after all are useful.

this is certainly one way of encouraging tourism but I would hesitate myself this country has a bad human rights record and a country which imprisons its prime minister because shes a woman is not to be trusted .

Don't know where you have been mate,when and if a woman PM goes to jail it will be because she is a crook.

Australians were paying for visas long before the 2 guys were executed, don't know why we give them billions in Aid, they don't have anything I'd want

I'd check that "aid" a bit closer.All tied in with connected Australian companies.The only thing we gave them was those orange lifeboats.

I think we're on the outer with the Indos. I wonder if the Ambassador has returned. He was withdrawn after the last round of executions.

Ambassador returned to Indo last week.

Of course he did,all hot air and hairy chest beating by this govt.Surprised it was not an on water matter,so therefore top secret.

I have both Australian and UK passport and I have to say that the Visa and immigration benefits are starting to look quite out of kilter i.e. Aussie passport benefits looking increasingly " restrictive "

so far we have

1. British passport holders still entitled to 30 day visa exempt to Thailand even for a land entry. (G7 country privilege)

2.Visa exemption for Vietnam

3. Visa exemption for Indonesia

I think Prime Minister Tony Abbott needs a bit more emphasis on the old diplomacy . I mean it's a pretty blatant snub to Australia to bestow the benefit on New Zealand but not to Australia.
