@Frank *********

sort of but I am asking for clarification on if I already have to have a bank account with 800k in a Thai bank Before I even ask for a 3 months extension. No bank I've been to in Bangkok is willing to open a bank account for me without some proof from immigration that I am going to be getting a non o visa.

I can apply for non o visa before I have a bank account? That's good news, the banks won't let you open an account on a 30 days tourist visa.

@Mario ********

if you apply for the 60 day visa, you will be asked for an paid on going flight etc. it's on their e-visa site itself. If you get a Visa on arrival, then you probably don't need it.

maybe bus from Siem Reap, get 30 days on arrival, extend for 30 days. Then fly out and back, get another 30 days and extend for 30 days again. Finally do another land border run.
