What should tourists know about entering Thailand under recent stricter visa rules?

@Brandon ***********

I'm not saying Indefinitely

Just visiting a couple times per 12 months

I.e. visa exempt - full60 + extension -- 2 times per 12 months

Especially for retirees is not out of ordinary

AND the monetary benefit to Thailand is huge and easy money source

It’s too bad that Thailand seems intent on making it very difficult to visit over an extended period of time. Most”tourists

“Spend a lot of money “

Which benefits Thai economy

I’m fully aware of those who

“Work “ the system = which ruins it for legitimate long duration tourists

What should I consider before going into business with my Thai partner?

Mike **********

Don’t do it.

What time should you arrive at Chang Watthana to get to the front of the queue?

Mike **********

After 24 years of many many

Trips to Thailand

In the early years

VERY traveler friendly

I am beginning to believe

The Thai government is really wanting to discourage easy frequent travel.

Basically send your money

But stay out of Thailand

It could be sooo easy

For them to expedite and super simplify visiting

But alas doesn’t seem so
