Colombo, July 17 (Daily Mirror) - Thailand has implemented the visa exemption for 60 days for Sri Lankan nationals along with those of 92 other countries.

Visa can be extended for another 30 days but it is at the discretion of the immigration officer, the Thai Embassy said.

Thailand will allow citizens of more countries to enter the kingdom via visa exemptions as part of measures to promote tourism and encourage longer stays, Interior Ministry spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul said last Friday.

Ms Traisuree said Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul signed four documents to ease travel for foreigners, all of which will take effect on Monday pending their announcement in the Royal Gazette.

Don't make it sound like we're given a special privilege. Thailand has offered this to 93 countries to boost its tourism. We're just one of these like many others.

Whatever, it is good that we are included in the list. Those visiting there should be educated that they should use condom always and not practice any unsafe acts.
