1 week agoThailand to slash tourist visa-free stays
Thailand will reduce visa-free entry from 60 days to tiered limits of 30 or 15 days and cap land-border entries to two per year to curb abuse.
From Wednesday, any adult visitor from outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway will have to pay 32 euros to enter the Louvre - a 45-percent increase - while the Palace of Versailles will up its prices by 3. Americans, UK citizens and Chinese nationals, who are some of the museum's most numerous foreign visitors, will be among those affected, as will tourists from poorer countries.
