gotchya, i think what i'm hoping for is to try and visa run my way through atleast 6-8 months in thailand, go back home for a break, and perhaps re apply for another one 6 months or so later if i feel the urge to go on another long thailand trip. Cheers for the info!
do you think if you left thailand for like 3 months then a new calander year ticked over, do you reckon you could theoretically repeat the process of another multi entry visa?
