Hello everyone. Just had my first trip to Thailand a few weeks ago and fell in love with the place. Im kinda throwing around the idea of quitting my job in the U.S. and staying in Thailand for about a year to see if its something I would like to do long term. So question is, is there an easy Visa for one year or might as well get the regular tourist visa and just go through the hassle of extensions when they're needed and or leave the country then returning?
TLDR : Answer Summary
