Failed to do the 90 day report .
Not everyone, only those who know no better. And not correcting them only allows the misunderstanding to spread. Many also think visa exempt is visa on arrival. I was told by someone who had been coming twice a year for fifteen years that he was on visa on arrival. I tried to explain the difference but he wouldn't have it. -

TM6 (arrival/departure cards) - Scrapped?
From your link: TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn said that TAT would propose tourist visas be valid for 45 days instead of 30 days and visas on arrival for 30 days instead of 15 days and the measure should continue until Dec 31, 2022. According to him, TAT will also propose to end the requirement for visitors arriving by land from Laos and Malaysia to fill in the TM6 immigration form to facilitate their visits and prevent crowding at immigration checkpoints. Tourism-related operators discussed the proposal with the prime minister on July 18. No mention of land border crossings from Cambodia, or entry by sea. They weave their own web of confusing entry conditions. Either totally scrap the TM6, or don't. Transparency and consistency required to avoid even more confusion. -

The JW Space Telescope News Update/August
The JWST is a gift that keeps on giving and will for the next decade or so: what a great time to be alive! Below are some articles which piqued my interest. The first article that caught my eye began with a surprising opening paragraph... "To everyone who sees them, the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images of the cosmos are beautifully awe-inspiring. But to most professional astronomers and cosmologists, they are also extremely surprising—not at all what was predicted by theory." I don't have the background to truly understand why the recent photos contradict Standard Model Physics, or even if they actually do, but I do know that one of the most fascinating statements by scientists is "Wait... What?" and another is "...that doesn't correspond with what we thought we knew.". https://mindmatters.ai/2022/08/james-webb-space-telescope-shows-big-bang-didnt-happen-wait/ The second article highlights a galaxy roughly twice the size of our own Milky Way and updates us on its workings. It also discusses "Super Massive Blackholes". My own view on life is anytime a 'Super Massive Blackhole' is under discussion, you should drop what you are doing a read on. https://www.universetoday.com/157184/a-new-image-from-webb-shows-galaxy-ngc-1365-known-to-have-an-actively-feeding-supermassive-black-hole/ Third is an article on the Cartwheel Galaxy (as above, if you see news/photos on a 'Cartwheel Galaxy', you should stop what you are doing and read on). Ain't that pretty? https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-photo-cartwheel-galaxy Fourth is another Space.com article on how the JWST will be looking for vaporized jewels and metals in the atmosphere(s) of Exoplanets. "Previously, these elements and minerals have been detected as a diffuse presence in exoplanetary atmospheres. Now, JWST's high-resolution vision will be able to directly distinguish these minerals as clouds, spectroscopically measuring their composition. "Clouds tell us a lot about the chemistry in the atmosphere," Kataria said. "It then becomes a question of how the clouds formed, and the formation and evolution of the system as a whole." We will be able to do a (limited) measurement of the make up of an Exoplanet's atmosphere; it is worth stopping for a minute and just pondering the idea of that. We truly are on the verge of massively expanding our understanding of the cosmos. What are the implications of this? "Astronomers will pay particularly close attention to TRAPPIST-1e, which is the most Earth-like planet in the neighborhood. If it is habitable, then evidence for that may be found in its atmosphere, including in its clouds. "Clouds are an important feature on Earth, to regulate temperature," Kataria said. "They're an important consideration for Earth's climate. It stands to reason that clouds could also be a vital component in the atmosphere of a habitable exoplanet. The more we understand how clouds form in general — as they have on Earth and other solar system planets — the more we understand how clouds evolved in more exotic environments." https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-exoplanet-atmosphere-gems Finally, a note on one of humanity' greatest space achievements; NASA Voyager Missions. If you have read this far, you are obviously a special person with an inquisitive mind, and thus might appreciate a Webcast/Lecture from JPL regarding the Voyager missions and/or might want to catch it later on YouTube. And yes, I am a Trekkie and so do think about Star Trek the Motion Picture. The best part of this is... Imagine what else we will learn next month?- 4

Visa Exemption Stay Conditions Now?
The ticket out he was forced to buy was departure from the same point of arrival - Survanabhumi, should he be refused entry to Thailand. His initial outbound ticket was departing Don Mueang. The rule (advice) you mention given by Thai Embassies assumes you would be allowed entry to depart by air, bus, train, or boat out within 30 days. Foreigners who enter Thailand under this Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme may only do so for 30 days at one time, with a maximum of 3 times in a 6-month period by flight and 2 times a year for overland crossing. Foreigners entering Thailand under the Tourist Visa Exemption scheme must show the documents listed below at the port of entry: Proof of adequate finances for the duration of stay in Thailand i.e. traveller’s cheque or cash equivalent to 10,000 Baht per person and 20,000 Baht per family. Proof of onward travel (confirmed air, train, bus or boat tickets) to leave Thailand within 30 days of the arrival date (**otherwise a tourist visa must be obtained). https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/84451-tourist-visa?page=5d6636cd15e39c3bd00072dd&menu=5f4b6eb3f6ae4b236972c562 Ultimately, if refused entry it's the airline's responsibility, and they make the rules for boarding.
