I told a masseuse I didn’t have an erection, when I meant to say I was not cold when she offered me a blanket.

In all honesty, I think it’s not an issue, unless the IO is in a bad mood…..

No, but I would highly recommend you get a license, especially if you’re you are going to be doing most of the driving, and get the insurance in your name. Oh, get a dashcam too!

How did you “extend”? What makes you think you need to do a border run?

Did you apply yourself or use an agent?

I applied myself the first time, and I was also rejected. I went to an agent and she solved it first go.

I am certainly not an expert, but I have never heard of anyone needing a translation etc. I have only ever used an agent and it was very easy.

Is it a “Euro” style licence? I have a UK licence and getting Thai driver and bike ones was no issue, I did use an agent though.

@Kei****
if you are serious about staying longerterm, I would recommend asking an agent what your viable options are.

As already confirmed, you can extend your current 30 day exemption for another 30 days at immigration for 1900baht, I think as early as a week before your current stamp expires and you will get 30 days beyond the stamp date regardless.

Border bounce is an option, but they don’t like to see too many of those, it raises suspicion you are trying to game the system.

You can apply for a sixty day tourist visa in Singapore or Hong Kong etc too
