Ah, right. So do you have an Australian passport? Also, have long do you want to stay in Thailand this time and how many trips have you made here before and over what period of time?
My friend married a Thai man and she tells me the visa is very easy to get, in fact a great deal easier than a man marrying a Thai national as I believe there is no requirement to have 400,000 baht deposited into an account. Immigration here will tell you of the requirements needed. I jumped through a few hoops but got it relatively easy enough. You'd be better to post a question on here direct though.
I agree, I dread going back, my fantastic tenants are leaving and I know that I won't get anyone of their calibre again. There are so many horror stories out their so I decided to sell. I want a stress free life here........don't we all? 😂😂
