@Davis *****

Since that was not my point, what are you talking about?

@Stenbjorn ********

I don’t know, but I’m a bit weary of all the ifs, and, and buts. I’ll just go next door and figure it all out there.

@Sandy ******

omg. The FB comment police are here!!!! Gird your loins!!!! Btw, the gray hair and glasses fit perfectly my idea of old pinch-faced busy-body churchladies sneering at the high hemlines of others. Thanks for the laugh. Now go back to your knitting.

@Tony *********

I will.

@Henry ********

I’ll do it from a neighboring country instead. The cost of traveling to and staying in my home country would be a giant waste. And my current country as a legal resident, no more feasible than a Thai neighboring country. Thanks.

@Tony *********

Retirement visa. I want to live there.

@Henry ********

Understood. Thanks. I WAS planning to do it in-country, or secondarily from another more near if need be, but this just solidifies where I will be home-basing to do it from. Travel and stay in my home (passport) country while trying to get a visa from there would be a colossal waste of $. Thanks for the advice.

@Tom *******

Thank you. Re: driving. I haven’t driven a car in 7 years. That always sounds so odd to me, but I don’t need or want a car where I am, and my US license expired a few years ago. I uber the few places I want to go that are too far to walk, less often than once a month . Further than that, I don’t want to drive anyway, lol. I’ll pay a luxe bus or tour company. Or fly. I’m hoping Siem Reap (or Pnom Phen, but leaning toward Siem Reap) is a “Thailand lite” experience. At least that’s how it looks (though cleaner) and seems in all the vids I’ve seen.

@Wylie ******

makes sense. Then they should just charge what they want for 60 days visa-free entry instead of lowering it to 30 days. Or do both.

@Tom *******

That, I expect. Lol. I’ve spent time in Thailand, and currently live in a Latin-American country. A a visit entry here was lengthy, and a permanent residency visa was very straightforward. Oh, and I won’t be driving any time soon after arrival, at least until I know what you’re talking about. Thanks for the heads-up.
