haha wtf? The 30 day extension is perfectly legal, and an option on the 60 day Visa. People may get into Thailand, and then immediately travel far into the country 100's and 100's of miles etc.. far from the nearest Immigration.
Your "Do you want to be that kind of person" statement??? I find it stupid!
Is this a joke post? Why would Thailand care if you were retired US military? Should there also be an exception for retired US teachers? Maybe retired US garbage collectors too?
