Thailand seems to have a rather expensive Visa on Arrival fee (2000 THB or ~61 USD or a rather whopping INR 4400) which doesn’t make those cheap tickets to Bangkok from India seem like much of a bargain.

Thankfully they seem to be providing a bit of a break on those fees for the next 2 months.

Between December 1, 2018, and January 31, 2019 tourists from 21 countries are exempt from paying the short term Thai Visa on Arrival (VOA) fee. The countries are listed below

• Andora
• Bulgaria
• Bhutan
• China
• Cyprus
• Ethiopia
• Fiji
• India
• Kazakhstan
• Latvia
• Lithuania
• Maldives
• Malta
• Mauritius
• Papua New Guinea
• Romania
• San Marino
• Saudi Arabia
• Ukraine
• Uzbekistan

These visas are available at 40 immigration points including international airports like Bangkok and Phuket. You can stay in Thailand for a maximum of 15 Days with this Visa. and short-term Visa on Arrivals cannot be extended.
