Thailand probably treated tourists / expats the best during covoid. Also after covoid they were the first country in Asia to do quarantines and sandbox experiment. When it comes to Asian tourism nobody can compete with Thailand.

they have two agents that organise trips as far as I know. The visa trips costs 4500 baht and you leave samui super early in the morning, 5 am pick up and return 7 or 8pm. It’s a long day. Be aware samui is rainy season November and December not the best time to move there.

6 months is easy if they don’t change the rules fly in on visa exemption get 60 days extend 30 days locally for 1900 baht. Do one border bounce with agent giving another 60 which you can extend for 30. Total of 6 months, this can be repeated again giving another 3 months.

The 30 day extension is nothing to worry about if your relaxed. I’d recommend doing it in the last 2 weeks of your 60 days. The only thing you need to make sure of is your accommodation before you go to immigration has registered you. This is called a TM30. Best to take a print out of this. It’s not required on Koh samui but was required in Chiang mai.

do your own research but my friend booked a 2 day cooking course and got the DTV visa. 3000 baht for the course and you can stay in Thailand for 5 years.

this is just educated guess but why not sign up for the masters

Of Chiang bike race on October then perhaps a running race in January. Yes it’s going to cost money but even a ED visa is around 55k a year.

nothing wrong with using an agent the first them especially when on a genuine holiday.
