Consider a tourist visa can be done online for $65, and you can then fly to KL and come back the same day, for less than $100 usd for 60 day + extension for another $60 usd, so let's say $250 usd every 90 days, or $1000 usd/year. Assuming you won't use one of these trips to go out and explore SEA.

Counterpoint to doing some edu/thai visa requiring you to spend time in lessons and the cost of the lessons themselves.

that's interesting because I've done bookings last minute, literally at the hotel counter, and Agoda was cheaper and thus we had to book 'online' first even though we were right there at the hotel.

@Matthew *****

booking and agoda are owned by the same company

did a visa run and took the opportunity to go to Vang Vieng for a few days. Laos felt like what Thailand might have been like 20 years ago.

@Chris ******

Are you saying these as a general entry advice, or for people who have been banned? for general entry, I've never needed any of these.

Wait, this is a serious post??...

yep - its so easy to find someone's info from a personal profile and stalk them.

@Joshua *********

what’s a pre separation agreement ?

@Andreas ********

flying from bkk to kl round trip same day is an option too.

@Andreas ********

ehhh in DMK they can get iffy about it and tell you (tell me) I needed a proper tourist visa ‘next time’ - so yeah I did that these days. Plus with US you can apply online for e-visa, only $40 so cheaper than going visa waiver and extending it at immigration.
