ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The question discusses whether it is possible to enter Thailand using a 60-day visa exemption and then apply for a Non-O visa for a 90-day stay after leaving the country temporarily. Comments reveal differing experiences: some suggest if the Non-O visa is already issued, it should be used upon entry, while others believe it might be possible to initially use the visa exemption. There is a cautionary note about the potential consequences of bypassing established visa requirements.
