Octo Adven Over 26 years, we have been to every place in Thailand. 35,000 km. Our own car, hotels, everywhere. Real tourists. A special dedicated trip was to tour the whole of Isan. With Thai wife, she knew where to go and what to see. Nothing like googlers here.

Certainly, we saw nice people and armpits where they live but nothing like a place we would like better than Japan or Australia.

My Thai wife, living with me in Japan, our Thai daughter living in Australia, both Thai citizens with Thai passports, Thai IDs, do not want to go to Thai. We have a Hawaii style condo in Bangkok, they dont give a shit.

Graham Seal Prostitutes arrested in their 10s of thousands?

Paul Bengtsson Why would they? Most (99%) of travellers do not any visa.

Those trying to live in Thai on nothing are subjected to that scrutiny. They need a proper visa, if they can attain it.

Alex Bugatti They (Thais) would not do it just like that and catch you mid flight. That would be months ahead if they ever do that.

Alex Bugatti When visa exemption was raised from 30 to 60 days, I did not know what to do with those extra 30 days.

Within 30 days, a honest tourist could travel Thailand (as we did since 2001) every year and spend money on hotels, rentacar, attractions.

Sure, 60 days are more than 30 days but for what for a tourist? Those like "Jack the Lad" making problems stay in Thai max 2 weeks.

Long term stay is a visa, not border runs.

Tom Ciccateri Non O 90 days visa that lets you sort out bank account and get 12 months extension, has no mention about health insurance. I am on that extension.

Ken Robertson Where and when? Fake news you posted may be from sh11t press that has been circulated for the naive posters like you to spread the junk even further. Two years old press news keep on doing that, for people like you.

James Mitchell 60 days stamp is not any kind of visa, it is a visa exemption.

I think our Mod, Brandon, was joking.
