What are the best strategies to extend my stay in Thailand for up to 12 months on a tourist visa?

Mitchell *******

, I never said there is a restriction on being a tourist. There WILL be an issue if it appears you are trying to stay/live in a country (ie, not being a tourist). Thailand has rules, whether we like them or not.

And they usually want proof that you need the multi entry 6 months. Otherwise, they will just give you the 60 day tourist visa.

Mitchell *******

Instead of doing border bounces, you might try to actually VISIT another country for a couple weeks. You are trying to live in Thailand on tourist entries. It would also help if you actually travelled around Thailand.

How can I obtain a long-term visa to stay in Thailand for a year as a tourist with an invitation letter?

Mitchell *******

You are asking the wrong question. You cannot do anything on a tourist visa except be a tourist. You are needing to get the correct visa for the purpose of your visit. Whoever has given you your letter should be helping, or at least pointing you in the right direction.

What are my options for a border run from Kai Bae to Cambodia and back with a visa exemption extension expiring soon?

Mitchell *******

I honestly would try and find a flight to Kuala Lumpur for a few days. I must say that leaving a border bounce to the last day is a recipe for disaster.

Why won't hotels in Thailand match online prices when asked directly?

Mitchell *******

I was going to state that there are many varying types of deals the hotels will have with sites like booking etc. But I Think the bigger the chain, the better chance of getting a better deal directly from the hotel.

Besides all the other comments...

If you are planning to leave in 30 days, you may as well enter visa exempt. That gives you 30 days. Then you leave, and then you can reenter for a NEW 30 day exemption. Note you can extend the 30 day exemptions by 30 days at immigration.
