I'm planning a multi-city flight over Australia-Thailand and Turkey.  I have 6 months travel time.  If possible, I would like to spend 4 or 5 months in Thailand.  But I have a two month stay limit to Thailand and I can't buy tickets from Thailand for any time I want because I have to show a ticket to a non-Thai country when I enter Thailand showing that I will be leaving on time.  If what I understand is correct, the reservation I am trying to make now shows a flight to Turkey two months later.  It is not certain that I will be able to get a visa if I make my Thai exit date 4 or 5 months later.  How would you recommend me to proceed in this case?  If I make my ticket 4 months later, which is now two months later, should I enter and exit a nearby country?  Thank you in advance for your patience and reading and replying to me.

Having read your posts over the last few days, you really are making your travel difficult. Every day you change your arrangements. sort your itinerary out after you have researched what you can do in Thailand.

thank you for advice. I am not changing my plan just thinking other option. If I made my booking 4 mounts after my arrival I have to go outside the Thailand after 2 mounts. When i came back can I get 30 or 44 days visa plus another 30 days?

To solve the flight issue book your Turkey flight for whenever you're planning to use it.

Then either buy a cheap throw away ticket to SG or Phnom Penh (wherever is cheap basically) to show you're leaving Thailand before your tourist visa or visa exemption expires or buy an onward ticket from a website which deals with them. I haven't used any but others have, Google will have plenty of suggestions for this part.

I am really appreciated for your advice.

Lets say if I bought I ticet for Vietnam do how long I have to stay there and would be any problem about Thailand giving me a Tourist visa?
