Should I get a Thai tourist e-visa, a visa-on arrival, or a visa exemption?

With the end of covid restrictions on entering Thailand, it's now possible to enter again with a visa exemption or a visa on arrival, as an alternative to getting a tourist visa in advance using the e-visa process. This video is intended to help you decide which to choose.

If you found the video useful, please consider buying one of my books:
