Good Luck to you...
We await your reporting back if you are able to get an STV visa back to back to live in Thailand.
Be prepared to answer questions from Thai Immigration upon arrival...as they may ask you why you stay in Thailand so long ?
BTW...as you may still be working in Thailand ...
Is it possible your NGO could sponsor you for a Volunteer Visa with a Thai work permit ?
That would be best for you and the NGO...
