, you wanted to tell me that you could NEVER get a tourist visa INSIDE Thailand? Really? I get my tourist visa inside Thailand every time I visit the country. As for the STV, my post asked whether anyone knew if they would change requirements for that visa. Not sure how else I could have worded it.

I gave it a shot about 20 years ago, but Route 66 was replaced, piece-by-piece with other roads, and though you can travel parts of it, there really is no "Route 66" anymore!

, I was just thinking it would be nice to settle in here and not have to worry about borders for many months. Now I guess I'm in two-months-at-a-time limbo, but I can't complain.

I don't want to stay here, as I plan to ride my motorcycle to Europe, but I don't want to do that until the borders open up, so there's that. Thanks.

and it obviously isn't working, so why not offer it to people the safest group of tourists? The people who are already here. Anyway, I think you're right, but there's always hope...
