Yes, get a 60 day tourist visa and go to immigration to extend for 30 days more. No need to purchase any kind of insurance. Immigration is easy to deal with.

What type of visa? I had thought visas were all done online.

The PM 2.5 particulates in Chang Mai get to dangerous levels in February and March. Extremely dangerous. Meaning…Chang Mai has an air pollution problem that is among the worst in the world for 2 months and then it is just horrible for the other 10.

You don’t need a realtor, you need a respiratory therapist. Mask up all you want but it won’t help. Good luck.

Just wondering….have you been sending the mom money to help support your daughter?

If so, just tell the mom you won’t send money ever again and all of a sudden, she will cooperate.

I am a US citizen and Thai wife of 35 years.

I spend November through the end of April in Thailand.

The easiest way is what I am currently doing… apply for a tourist e-visa from your home country. That will give you 60 days. At the end of 60, go to your local immigration office to get a 30 day extension. On day 90 cross over the nearest border (no need to fly) and return right away to get a 30 day visa exemption. That is a 30 day visa upon arrival. At the end of the 30, back to the immigration office for a 30 day extension. So now we are on day 150. On day 150, cross the border again and return right away and get a 30 day visa exemption. Fly home on day 180.

Land borders are fine.

Have you been to Pattaya recently? Overcrowded. More expensive than Isan. Pattaya, Phuket and Chiang Mai are among the worst places to live in Thailand.

yes, Non-O marriage visa requires only B400k.

I flew to S Korea and applied for a tourist visa there. It took them 3 weeks to complete the visa even thought I had all the correct documents to them in 1 day. I had to return on a 30 day visa exemption and now I’ll use the tourist visa by way of a border run. So Thailand.

Just because you drive in Australia doesn’t mean you are prepared for the outrageous antics involved in driving in Thailand.
