Did he come in visa exempt,( then have flagrant disregard for the law), and stayed an additional 150days @ 500bht per day(75,000), caps off at 20,000bht with a ban of X amount of years. That's what this sounds like?
A K1 visa, I'd recommend. I did it and it takes around a year but you chances are good you'll bring her back. Everyone told me it wouldn't happen and diligence will pay off.
I'd try a thai massage. It's almost like a chiropractor and you'll have a time finding a chiropractor. Last time I looked there were 2, but that was years ago.I did the thai massage.
