As of March 5th no more free tourist visas. The free 30 day stamp is still available.

There is talk of more political unrest. Who knows the government may re-enact the free tourist visas in the very near future?

[Beer Chang]

I really doubt that a free tourist visa enters into the decision of whether or not to visit Thailand.

[Wino]

I doubt if a free visa enters into the equation to travel to Thailand. It doesn't matter to me, but some enjoy the perk.

[Beer Chang]

Heard they are giving out free tourist visas again.

Are these 60 day visas?

Can you back to back 60's for a total of 120? Does this involve leaving Thailand once?

[Thaimo]

It is my understanding that you can back-to-back them provided you do not exceed the 180 days restrictions. It is also my understanding that you can get 10-day extensions, but one the extension expires you do have to leave the country in order to obtain another tourist visa.

I could be wrong. This is what I've heard, but have not personally checked.
