Thailand’s caretaker government is considering a reduction of the 60‑day visa‑free stay period, following numerous complaints that foreigners have been exploiting the system to engage in illegal activities or exploit local residents, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow.
The minister made the comment on Wednesday while visiting Phuket, where tourism operators have been complaining about the downside of the system originally intended to promote tourism.
