Legal ? then we have a different view in what is legal and what is not. either you are a tourist - entry free for 30 days - or you stay longer - then you have to pay a fee. with border hopping you avoid taking your part in financing society. i wouldn’t call that “legal” - for me that’s cheating.

Iam sure i read somewhere about a one year version … but iam far from being well informed 🙂

@Todd ********

As far as i know you can simple’s buy an elite visa for a specific time. so that would be the legal version of staying in thailand longer than tourist visa allows right ?

Same here - but we do everything to prevent them from coming or send them home again.

but that means in the end - i have to be better and not be like them.

and what’s the problem in getting a 6 month visa ?

I always wonder - whoever tries to cheat their lives through thai laws - would they accept the same by a few hundred thousand people from other countries coming to their homeland ?

No offense, but isn’t that better than getting rejected at immigration at BKK airport ?

A flight is only under european law if :

it starts or lands in europe and

if it’s the longer part of the journey.

so - Singapore to Dohar (8 hours) and then Dohar to Munich (6 hours) = no european law

that’s what i learned the hard way during covid 🙂

Emirates, Etihad, Qatar - it’s all the same if you have problems - you are lost.

European flight law is usually not valid, so they do nothing.

Actually the difference between „making holidays“ and „traveling“ is : having plans or not.

Everyone decides for him/herself - i think 5 Star All inclusive Hotels with daily tourist entertainment programm are boring - just go out - 2 kilometer straight ahead - left right left right until you are lost. Then you have a chance for a new experience.

lovely couple! all the best !
