Most of us are “employed or working for income” while attending, not on vacation or time off. Someone is paying for our time to be there.

Regards,
Jakob.

FWIW, this page<http://www.thaiembassy.org/helsinki/en/customize/28150-ConferenceBusiness-meetingSeminar.html> on the Finnish embassy says something similar: "Foreign nationals wishing to enter the Kingdom of Thailand to attend a MICE event, which is endorsed or sponsored by TCEB, without being employed or working for income, are regarded as tourists". It lists the TCEB website as being www.tceb.or.th<http://www.tceb.or.th>, and IETF 103 is listed on www.tceb.or.th<http://www.tceb.or..th> as a conference here<http://www.tceb.or.th/en/event-calendars/article/1>. The TCEB page on visas is here<http://www.tceb.or.th/en/article/visa-requirements>.
