TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is confused about whether to apply for a visa online or in person for a planned 90-day stay in Thailand, with potential visits to neighboring countries. Comments suggest that if the user's country (UK) utilizes the e-visa system, applying online is necessary and could take from 2 days to over 2 weeks. They also mention the option of entering Thailand visa-exempt, allowing a 30-day stay, with the possibility of seeking a 30-day extension if needed.

Looks like you're from UK so go for your 60 day tourist e-visa, however, as you state you want to visit surrounding countries then you could just come in visa exempt and just do each visit before your 30 days is up. If, for whatever reason, you decide you want to stay in Thailand past 30 days at some point, you can go to immigration and get a 30 day exstension there

If the Thai consulate in your country has switched to the evisa system, applying online is your only option.

I recommend you hurry. It can take anywhere from 2 days to 2+ weeks.

If your country doesn't use evisa, then you may already not have enough time.
