we are basically tourists spending more money than other tourists helping the economy by virtue of this country's generosity inviting foreigners to spend money here instead of other asian countries. As Todd said if we don't need one we don't need to get one..we have been exemplary tourists here and never had issues with the law. But thanks for the concern ...I think we believe that only those with wrong intentions and bad stories should be weary and afraid of what might be..for us it's just a matter of buying the ticket if need be.

thanks Todd..

so we can just always keep our fingers crossed that an Io is in a good mood everytime we reenter..we have been here for years just doing extensions and border runs without any problem. It is new to me this 180 days if one of the changes included in the new rule. We are over 55 and decided to just stay here in Thailand till we finally decide to go back to canada

@Tony *********

I can agree..air bnbs in the Philippines are sketchy..broken tap, cockroaches, broken bath, etc..and no one takes responsibility ..I once left sticky notes on almost everything in that unit to tell then what's wrong..never heard from them
