Can a foreigner obtain Thai citizenship without marrying a Thai citizen?

Darren *********

Ha, I read an article about a guy trying to do this for five years, he was called before officials several times, had to sing the national anthem in Thai on more than one occasion amongst other crazy things that normal people wouldn’t bother with. He Had to jump through multiple, repetitive hoops (sounded like they wanted him to give up) The guy eventually got there with handful of others for that year. There’s an article on it somewhere in Thai visa.

Easiest solution for sure. Overstay can be risky and as Trevor said it’s not good to have it on your passport.
