Hi all,
When I first started going to Thailand, it was just 15 days visa exemption. 30 days is better but still lousy.
It has been shown a number of times that people who long stay in Thailand put far more money into the Thai economy than short stays who stay at expensive places.
With the latter, the money goes to multinational hotels and food companies and leaves the country. With the long stays, the money often goes directly to local people in accommodation, food, etc.
It would not hurt Thailand to extend the visa exemption to 3 months and I'm sure a lot more tourists would take advantage of it, so bringing a lot more foreign currency into the country.
That's true!
However I think that one reason (out of many i guess..) that they are doing that would be to avoid foreigners to come here and look for a job.
If we had 3 month exemption, that would make things easier whereas it's never easy to find a suitable job here..
That's my theory..
