TLDR : Answer Summary

The phrase 'Must be used by 10th of May' on your visa indicates the last date for entering Thailand. You need to enter the country by this date, after which the visa will no longer be valid for entry.

The visa allows you to enter Thailand on or before the 10th May. Upon arrival you’ll be stamped in for 60 days.
