Hi guys

Got a question.

I got medical procedure planned for this year, and since that will put me out of business for at least 3 to four months, I will do it in Thailand, so I can get nurtured back to health by my wife .

No I'm thinking about flying to Laos first

Get a two months visa at immigration there, and after surgery, go to immigration in my town to get extension (with a letter from my doctor )

Or

Go straight to Thailand

Get visa exempt, and than go immigration, with a letter from the doctor.

What is the best option.

Going to the embassy in my home country is kinda complicated, since I work offshore, and need to have my passport with me at all times.

What you think

Any information is welcome
