Given it's the first ever time I see no issue, regardless I would probably spend a few nights . The foods good if nothing else ...

Mae sai border was open about a year back. Did a hop there. Glory days 🥳. Out and back in 15 minutes , only paid

500 bht to the Burmese ..

Given it's your first ever flying in and out be a good idea .. Kuala Lumpur is good since you only get a small stamp rather than a disgusting full page consuming sticker..

I agree. I don't spend that. Sometimes I'm sub 30k/month up in Chiang Mai ... I don't eat much western food , maybe once a month .. I just said that because I know many pensioners who don't eat Thai food , drink like fish , have cars etc .. They the people that spend 60k+

@Francis ******************

That's 70,000 + bht , assuming you ain't a beer guzzling mongering barfly who doesn't eat Thai food that's a very comfy life anywhere in Thailand ...

What type of location you think would suit you ..? Do you want to be near the sea ?

Cheers 🥂

you might only want to stay 10, 15 , 20 days etc ... You might have loose plans to meet up with people that ain't set in stone. Spontaneous natured souls don't like set timetables ... Anyway Thurko , out of interest do you know many people in my position who have used the Thai visa centre VIP 8000 bht meet in airport successfully ...

I worry about paying flying and nobody being there . Still outcast in KL here but hope to return In a week or so to salvage my belongings before departing to slavery ... Cheers 🍻👍

@Dan ********

You'll have to bail out make a tourist visa after 90 days anyway . Why not just settle on a place to go do that and book ticket for it now ...🤔.

@Jeff *******

it's a bit silly imo ... You might be a free rover planning to visit multiple destinations but don't have a set itinerary...
