At not all passport holders are given 30 days, Brazilians for example get 90 days on arrival, even at land crossings.

No, that's girls WITH Brazilians.

Tourism stimulus measures extended : National News Bureau of Thailand

So far not one embassy or consulate has been informed and not one free tourist visa has been issued.

Just reading the thread about it on TV. People applying all over the world and not one embassy has been informed.

Highlights the competency and honesty of Thai government officials quite nicely I feel.

BANGKOK, 15 April 2010 (NNT) – The Ministry of Tourism and Sports has extended tourism stimulus measures for one year until 31 March 2011

The stimulus measures include the exemption of visa fees for foreign tourists

Apparently in his haste to get this out, or maybe got it lost in the translation, but the proposal was only passed by the cabinet, but not officially endorsed so was not put into effect as of yet.

It still begs the question . . . why would a tourist visa be three months long? Surely the definition of 'tourist' is then absurd

My poor man.

Many of us can afford holidays far in excess of a month a year...
We, the quality tourists, don't slave away in factories and offices, dying for a few days break.

I'm sorry that you are only one of the workers of this world, your hat deserves better.

Maybe you should sell it, or give it to someone more worthy. Even your daughter appears to agree....

Hmm, calling me a workslave . . .

Listening to 2GB at the moment and Sydney's water temp is a 'beautiful' 20 degrees . . . I only mention this because you were talking about working and missing out.

Love the hat, hope you don't mind

I don't know. Brazil, Chile, Peru and South Korea all get 90 days on entry.

They have probably signed reciprocal agreements.
