does anyone have or know a good visa attorney?
I am planning to arrive with a tourist visa (90day visa) and then get a retirement visa. I know there are many agents that will help but I am leery of them, with all the bad stories about corrupt agents.
I would like to know if anyone has any good recommendations in the Hua Hin area or I can travel to Bangkok or Ratchaburi.
