ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi there! A quick question for UK passport holders. I’m potentially interested in staying in Chiang Mai for up to 5 months, from November. What is the best option for this? Is it best to do visa runs, or is it possible to extend the visa for this amount of time at the local visa office? Thanks for your advice :)
