Hello everyone. So I taught 3 years. The pay is low so I got a job tutoring online. Only thing is my daughter was just born 2 days ago. So I don't want to leave Thailand and I need more money. Hence the tutoring online. I have friends that continuously got tourist visas, stayed 60 days, extended it 30 and left to Laos to repeat the process. They did this for 2 years. They assured me it's okay. However I've heard people say you can only do it 3 times a year and then I've heard people say you con continuously do it. So I'm a bit worried. Can I do it?
