European Union passport holders will see visa-free stays in Thailand slashed from the middle of September.
The Southeast Asian nation has announced that it’s halving the length of trips without visas for tourists from more than 60 countries and territories to 30 days.

Euronews Travel previously reported that the decision was apparently down to a string of high-profile crimes involving foreign nationals.
