Looking for the best way to stay in Thailand for 5-6 months, we are both Canadian over 60. For the last 2 years we have been coming in on exemption and extending, then border bounce and extending again. When we extended our first exemption the Phuket immigration was very suspicious and phoned my brother inlaw(Thai) asking about where we were staying. When we came back from border bounce the immigration at Phuket airport was asking for return ticket and was questioning us. This is the 1st of ten years coming here that this has happened! Thanks in advance

I arrived on a TR visa from Canada in November and have applied for and gotten the 30 day extension till the first of February. I will be flying to Vientiane on that date and returning the following day and get the Visa exempt 45 days and then 30 day extension. I thought that you had to fly out of the country and return to get the Visa exempt 45 days and that doing just a land crossing that you would only get 15 days?
