Non O works well if you have time to apply, perhaps the guy in the airport was having a bad day? Sounds like the Buriram officer is correct to me. Often you need to go up the chain to get correct rulings.

tried a few over the years but no luck. I think not.

@Richard *******

insurance is no problem you will have to quarantine currently. But they will drop that also eventually as it is not productive or protective.

@Lynnette ******

thats simply not true. All the other way around vaxed are the spreaders and at high risk of medical injury. Look at the studies they are all available now. The suppressed but now released fizer docs also support this position you have all been conned. Read read read, dont believe the propaganda.

Been a great help, thanks to all

thanks I entered dec 2020 used my 3 renewals and now several extensions. I will try to extend once again in Pattaya. Agents tell me phuket will only extend tourist visas. I live in phuket so usually do it there.

Thanks I will look at other options

I struggle with languages. The best thing I did was learn to read and write Thai. It is not so difficult and will pay dividends learning the language in the long run. Also self study is easy this way

Ais has a system called multi sim. both use the data plan and either cad is switchable to become the single phone access card. It works well if you have a phone and a backup as they use the same number. Not an issue if you want a data only connection. For this I use a True sim card in a D link portable router 300 baht a month unlimited data. It is fast enough for all I do dtreaming video included.
