What are the best options for booking flights and obtaining a visa for a 4-month stay in Phuket from Canada?

If you've been before you know the routine. Go to the consulate in Edmonton and they only want to see your ticket to Thailand. No return needed. Easy to obtain a 60 day SETV. Probably the easiest place in the world. Extend in Thailand for another 30 day. Airline will ask for return ticket maybe but the visa is their protection. You state you will be traveling overland after your visa expires. That's the simplest, or just show up with a return ticket and get 30 days visa exemption stamp. Shouldn't have a problem but nothing is guaranteed in this world.

A 10$crisp Clean bill only,and it's Ranong.

Get to a thai embassy asap and get a tourist visa S for single entry and a return ticket.

2 photos to be submitted with 1 application form.

and your fee £25 in the UK.

then you can stay in Thailand for 60 day's.

then get a 30 day stamp at the local imergtion office.

If you need 30 days more you will have to leave thailand and come back in and get another 30 days stamp.
