This is as close as I can get to a verbatim transcript of my phone call: Me: I am coming to Thailand for an Internet conference. What sort of visa do I need? I am a US citizen. Consulate: Oh, for that, they are only giving Tourist visas. Me: A tourist visa? Consulate: Are you going to be making any money? Me: No, I am not making money. Consulate: Yes, then a tourist visa is fine. When you arrive, just tell them you are there for pleasure. Me: Is that written down anywhere official? Consulate: No. Me: OK, thank you. And on their website, it is crystal clear, in the other direction: NON-IMMIGRANT VISA ( Maximum stay 90 days, extension of stay may be applied in Thailand ) Purpose of visit : - To conduct business, attend conference, or to work (Category “B”) I always do find meeting with the lot of you “pleasurable”, and I’m bringing along my scuba gear, so I can point to it if asked, so I guess I’m going to save the $80 and say that I am “here for pleasure”. pr
