@Michael *******
what’s the point of asking and then teling anyone who replies that they’re wrong? What anyone with experience with Thailand will tell you is that regardless of the visa you apply for, IMMIGRATION will see what you applied for, and WILL start to question you if you’re on soft power and keep coming back a year or two later. This is not stated anywhere, is not on any embassy or government website, but very much is documented in the vast amount of anecdotal evidence available in this group and elsewhere.
