What are the requirements for returning to Thailand for 3 months as an expat with a Thai spouse?

Do it yourself. Apply for your visa and then an entry permit. Easy to do if all your paperwork is in order. I'm from Doncaster and have been thailand and back recently. If you want help feel free to message me
