If I get it approved first, and only use that visa for both entries, then no problem. But if as suggested above I use an entry visa for the first trip then I may run into problems as the NON OA would then be 6months old from issuance.
I understand Catherine, you make a good point. Time is the answer, just give it time and you’ll adapt and find other ways to keep busy perhaps.
I’d be more worried about the obvious lack of decent conversation offered by the expats in Hua Hin. If this group is anything to go by they tend to not read very well and are argumentative.😉
