no im not confusing anything and that is why people are being stopped from border runs cause random IO are saying enough you are too stupid to see that honor and integrity is universal. This isnt my issue you were not raised to be a respecting himan being. If somekne wishes to keep doing border runs thats on them. Ive seen many posts in this group where people are being told this is the laldt time they can use visa exempt after x amount of times. I Been retired since i was 37 and planned my stay here for a few years and finally made it over prepared. You are confusing your own selfless needs cause you and others got away with abusing border runs cause immigration didnt care. Now they seem to care. My point is pay the fees If someone wishes to stay here longer period of time and integrity is doing the right thing legally and morally which means learn thailand laws and follow them. You sir are confused with greed and too stuck up

@Todd ********

your profile says you are retired you can more than afford the cost to be here. Im retired as well and did my planning before I came here and executing that plan. We are guest in their house respect it. Intgerty is doing the right thing legally and morally.

@Todd ********

again doesn't matter how smart you are if the IO says no it ends stop abusing the system and dancing in the Grey areas. People like you abusing a privledge messes things up for people who do it right and want to enjoy visa exempt.

If you are here to be a tourist then be one. If you are here for long term stay then pay for the visa. That simple called having honor and integrity

@Todd ********

nothing is an issue till it becomes an issue

@Todd ********

until you run into an IO who denies you cause you did it too many times in their opinion, hence my advice get a year visa with multiple entries removes that worry

@Todd ********

if someone is counting on doing border runs all year kinda fits the need

KW driving school in chiang mai i just did it.

KW Driving School



An IDP is only honored on thailnd for 90 days. If you plan to stay longer helps to have a license.

See if they have a facility near you in Bangkok they can get you in quicker then transportation office

Just pay for a multiple entry tourist visa and nothing to worry about

If you leave the 28th you dont have to report

its a personal choice which one to do just make sure you have met the requirements for DTV meaning the money in savings for a few months. DTV must be applied for outside thailand.
