Why this verdict
The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi still publishes the 60-day visa exemption for Indian ordinary-passport holders. Thailand has approved a future 30-day replacement, but the official notice says it takes effect only 15 days after Royal Gazette publication. Do not treat the future rule as live; recheck the embassy guidance before travel.
