Hello all!

I work as an online English teacher and am planning to move to Thailand in October. I am hoping to stay for at least 6 months in Chiang Mai.

I think the 60 day tourist visa would work best, but the requirements say I have to provide proof of a round trip flight. I’ve already bought my one way to Chiang Mai.

I guess I’m mostly curious about the “visa run”. Would it work to buy a round trip flight to Laos as proof of my ongoing travel out of Thailand and also as my method of renewing once the visa is up?

Thanks in advance for any tips! I thought I had this figured out, but it’s very confusing 😩
