You would think that any foreign visitors would be welcome for as long as they want and can support themselves without burden on Thailand as it's all Thailand has at this time.

Waste of time getting an Ed visa by the look of things.

Anyone know if they are going to charge the 1,900 baht extension fee for doing this?
