Last year, Thailand opened up visa-free entry to 93 countries and regions, and allowed a stay of 60 days. However, due to foreign tourists abusing the visa-free policy to engage in illegal work, the government plans to shorten the visa-free stay to 30 days. This decision is still under discussion and has not been officially announced.

Since Wang Xing was lured to Thailand by a fraud group and then abducted to a fraud park in Myanmar, the incident affected the confidence of Chinese tourists, hit Thailand's image, and affected the tourism market. Some industry players suggested reducing the visa-free stay for Chinese tourists to 15 days, or canceling the visa-free policy.

Tourism Minister Sorawong said that the government has discussed the matter and agreed in principle to shorten the visa-free stay to 30 days, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that no official decision has been made yet.
