I am the only Farang in my village and I've been coming here for 6 years, up to 3 or 4 months at a time. I met the village headman about 4 years ago and never have I notified him of my arrival. He sees me around from time to time and always says sawasdee krab.
. It appears that I'm 5 years behind you and this is the reason that I've decided to delay my retirement for another year, possibly 2. I've been coming to Thailand as a FIFO worker for over 7 years, usually 4 weeks working in Oz and 12 nights Thailand... I've been here this time almost 4 months and I've had no income for 10 months. It's been a great time, but if I wish to continue this lifestyle then a slightly larger nest egg is required.
If you have a 60 day visa exempt entry, just do a border bounce for another 60 days. I have just done that and am here for 4 months also, on long service leave.
ok, I understand. I have the 3.😁 I've been working in Oz and have a history of flying in and out of here for 7 years. The Authorities know of my address here. I usually work for 4 weeks and come over for 12 nights. Over the last few years I've had a 60 day and topped it up with another 30 and I've had 2x45day visas. This time I'm here for 4 months. I've booked a bus run with a visa service for baht 4k after considering the advice I've received. That is actually cheaper than flying to Laos or Vietnam. 😆
