Hello :) I'll be arriving back to Chiang Mai from the UK at the end of October, and my plan is to enrol on a Thai language course with education visa starting in December which should give me enough time on the 30 day tourist visa on arrival for the paperwork to be processed and then leave the country after Loi Krathong to get the ED visa, just wondering best options of countries to obtain the ED visa from ? (nice place to visit/easy to obtain visa) I've been to Vientiane so many times to get my work visa when teaching i'd like to try somewhere new, plus I realise I probably need to show the flight out to somewhere on arrival into Thailand, appreciate your tips!! :)
