I’m not sure if Phangan has an immigration office. If not, head to Samui’s office ASAP. Apologize. “I made a mistake, I thought visa was for 90 days”. Do not blame them for ANY reason. Dress nicely. Hopefully they give you an extension. Good luck!

💯 I follow his channel regularly. He’s from the same city I’m from. 👍👍

Interesting thing is, Victoria is considered one of the best places to live in Canada, especially temperature-wise.

Yep, was really tough going back home and still is. Samui feels like yesterday although returned about 5 years ago (right before Labour Day).

The only things keeping us from returning to Samui are family and visa issues. DTV definitely makes it less of an issue now.

We were living in Samui from 2017-2019. I used METV’s so this DTV visa is convincing of making a comeback. My wife worked at Kamalaya during that time (she’s born in Canada despite looking Thai). Home was mostly in Lipa Noi.

I changed my profile picture so might look different on FB now but we’ve had chats before. 😁

I really loved wearing nothing but flips flops and shorts. Enjoy on my behalf! 👍👍 There was one day in November that got down to 23° in Samui and I could’ve worn long sleeves, but enjoyed that I didn’t have to. Rainy season was my fave time of year in Samui.

I actually first arrived in Samui this very week in 2017. Really enjoyed this time of year as well. Ok, all of them. 😁

💯 It actually fits what the lady and I do perfectly, and how we were able to get out of Toronto and move to Muskoka. Muskoka is nice, but ya, Samui is a much better deal and I fell in love with the consistent weather (as well as many other things). Tired of carrying around a sweater, even during summer time!

At this point we’d move just to save on the laundry bill alone. 😅

As a fellow Canadian, I’m watching this DTV gossip closely. Seems too good to be true. 👍👍 I hope this visa continues long enough so that it’s available when I’m ready to head that way again for the long term.

@Todd ********

Totally understandable! 😁

@Doug ********

Bophut is great! We liked all areas pretty much, but chose Lipa Noi. Lived near Nikki Beach. 👍👍

@Todd ********

This is sort of our (Canadian wife & I) plan. Canada for 6 months, Samui the other as a base. “Live” in both. Still have the Samui connections for everything needed. Sweet deal.

@Brad ******

Yep, the hard truth right here. 🫡
