Hello. My wife and I plan to get a Thai tourist visa. Brief history of our visit to Thailand: from 2014 during the summer holidays we visited Thailand for a period of 1 to 2 months until 2017 (sometimes we got a 30-day stamp, sometimes applying for a tourist visa in our home city).
Next, in the winter of 2017, we entered Thailand and living there on two tourist visas, after which we got a student visa (based on English) and really learning it for 1 year.
After that, we left Thailand in the summer of 2019 and returned home for 3+ months. During this time, we prepared a full package of documents for the second student visa (based on Thai), which we were going to get in the fall of 2019 in Vietnam.
Unfortunately, in Ho Chi Minh, we got a canceled student visa with void stamp, without any explanation and money back. At that moment, we decided not to go to Thailand and waiting some time.
Now, we are going to enter Thailand in the middle of spring, making a tourist visa on our own. By the time of entry, about 10 months will pass from the date of the last departure from Thailand. *Also, please note that we have made new passports, due to lack of pages in old ones.*
# Therefore, I had question: tell me where is it most safe to make a tourist visa ourselves now, and through which borders is it better to enter Thailand? Interested in both the method of entry (by air, by land) and the places / countries.
