IF - one could go to Savannakhet Laos or Ho Chi Mihn City Vietnam and return to Thailand... one could visit the Thai Consulates there and buy a Non immigrate Multi-Entry Entry O Visa with minimum documentation and no financial requirements except 5000 Baht Visa Fee. However this Multi-Entry One Year Visa requires exiting and reentering Thailand every 90 days to get another 90 day stay.
Folks this man has done nothing wrong except be caught in a circumstance he had not part in creating.
If Thai Immigration wanted to - they could create a virtual border crossing stamp and get on with things. But No - being the die-hard immovable bureaucrats they are they can do nothing - actually do nothing except be hardlined
I ust got a one year Extension of Stay... Quite Legallly except for the tea money... Oh well.... Anyway - I had to sign my name at least 150 times... On a seemingly endless pile of documents.
