Langkawis great for a few days but not sure id live there. Incredibly beautiful in areas (hire a bike or car) but a little run down in others. Love my few days there each year. I take my motorbike down to Satun from phuket, leave it at the ferry terminal and get 1 hour ferry over
sure but in the past the thai embassies have not specifically stated on the visa exempt requirements page that you can extend for 30 days. Its always been stated elsewhere. Now its specifically referred to in the exempt conditions since it went to 60 days
my gut is youll be ok. Might be worth searching fof a cheap flight to Kuala Lumpar so you can book it instantly if they want it with 60 days. Despite what some will say, none of the rules are set in stone. Depends on the officer at the time
