Hi everyone!

I just got my DTV visa approved while I’m already in Thailand on a tourist visa, didn’t expect it, which is why I’m in this situation.

I’m currently in Chiang Mai and was thinking about heading up north to activate it. Or would it be better to just book a flight and do a quick 24-hour round trip?

What’s the best option? Thanks in advance for your advice! 🙏🏼
