I personally don't mind as, I never stay longer than 3 weeks but some may have other ideas and feelings about that.

When is this supposed to take effect?  I didn't see any specific start date mentioned in the article.  I arrive 2/20 and am planning to stay 7 weeks.  Will my arrival next Friday still be under the 60-day rule, or the new 30-day rule?

Still is the discussion stage, I doubt it would move forward in a weeks time...

I thought of you when I read the news @jimmie50 and I don't think you'll be affected. As @floridarob says, it's still being discussed and my guess is it'll only be implemented after Songkran, the start of the low leason.

lol.  Thank you, @vinapu, for your sage advice.  🤣   I do know to check the stamp date.  I was just trying to prepare myself in advance in case I needed to go apply for an extension...hence my question regarding the start date.  lol.
