first year, so that should not be an issue.

Mine is easy to add...one transfer :-)

@Kool ******

Hmmm...I've never updated my book at a machine. Interesting.

@Marty ********

have you needed to do a visa renewal? I’m with kasikorn and I’m wondering what will happen if/when I move.

Education visa and “tourist” are mutually exclusive. If you’re here on an education visa, you’re here to get an education. The fact that tourists have historically used education visas (& that’s become more difficult due to abuse) does not change its definition.

You can find numerous things to study on an education visa. The obvious ones are Thai & Muay Thai. One can also go to university and study a plethora of subjects. Cordon Bleu has a school in Bangkok if you want to be a chef. I’m sure other schools exist as well. I know of no exhaustive “list” anywhere.

@Steve ******

I’m aware. As I said, “very few”. Yet, as you pointed out, the laws are still different. So, again, I say…”anyone from elsewhere advising you on what was required” from their experience “does not know”.

@Christopher ************

you’re not a U.S. citizen

@Terary *********

I do think some of the laws are whacky. However, I am amazed when farangs complain about meeting some of the immigration requirements when Thais can rarely even enter the farang's home country.

@Alex *********

the farang bashing is mostly by other farang.

I've been in the "community" group for Siem Reap for years. I had considered moving there as an option as well. Numerous people have moved from Thailand to SR and they seem very happy. Is life more simple than in , say Bangkok? You bet. That's why they love it.
