Thailand visa

[diesel1973]

Am planning a 15 day land tour of Thailand and confused about visa requirements (US citizen). Will I be required to obtain visa on entry with 2000 BHT fee or will I not need anything? Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for your prompt response. I was able to get answer to my question from the Thailand Embassy in Chicago. Happy travels!

I am assuming you found out that, as a US citizen, you don't need a visa for Thailand?

Thailand is in the process of changing visa requirements, visa attributes, and visa costs.   Apparently tourism is slower than their target growth rate of 12 percent.   The changes will apparently soon be rubber stamped by Cabinet and put in to place immediately.  I think for some nationalities, they will eliminate the VIA charge of 2000 bhat.  Fortunately we currently only need a visa if we plan to stay more than 30 days.

Yes,after more research, I found the answer to my question. Tried the lazy way by asking on this forum. Plan on going in 2020 so I will keep checking for changes
