Is it a good idea to take a pram when traveling in Thailand with a toddler?

Darren *******

@Natalie ***********

don't worry about how busy it is. I live in Bangkok and moved here when my youngest was 2. I used to push him around in a pram, no issues. As someone mentioned elsewhere, make sure the pram has good wheels as pavements aren't great here.

What are my long stay visa options in Thailand as a 19-year-old expat?

you don't have a degree so you can't legally work here. You also don't have enough experience to meet the requirements with the exception of teaching English.

Can I extend my 30-day visa in Thailand for another 30 days?

Darren *******

@Фам **********

very simple to extend by yourself, which is done for 1,900 baht. If you're paying more than that then you're being ripped off and/or using an agent.

Darren *******

Your costs will vary dependent upon where you live and what school your send your kid to. When I moved out here I was able to get an idea on rent, school fees etc by using Google. That would be a good starting point seeing as you've given nothing to go on in your post.
