TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses options for extending a stay in Thailand beyond the 60-day tourist visa, specifically considering switching to an Educational (ED) visa. One commenter notes that this change should be made within the first month of the tourist visa to ensure there are enough days remaining to apply for a new visa.

Hey

, I have the same Idea. Seems to be possible, but we have to do it inside the first month as I understood cuz we need to have a certain amount of days left on our visa to apply for a visa change..
