Planning on traveling to Chaing Mai for 3 months next spring, from the US & over 50, if that matters. Opportunity came up for a place to stay and would like to explore the area to see if it would fit in with early retirement plans in a few years. 

Kind of confused as to which visa I might need to apply for. Tourist visa is 60 days and can apply for a 30 day extension once I'm there?

Or you can get six month multiple entry tourist visa which allows you 60 days at a time with the ability to ext by 30 days when you get close to end of 60 days. Or you could look into over 50 visas NonO or nonOA.

Hi Betsy, that’s what I do. Get the 60 day from a consulate before your trip, then extend 30 days when you are there. 😊
