@Brandon ***********

so theoretically, you can leave and come back after just 60 days and get 180 days on arrival each time?

And that process could hypothetically take place until the 5 years is up?

Wow that visa is amazing I thought there would be a minimum time outside the country.

Thailand loves us falang and the $400 too. ❤️

oh wow no i didn’t know that. However I did see a ticket for the first checkpoint that’s at 335 already. Not sure if they started at 1 but I’m 189. If I had to guess I think they’re over 300 right now.
