Follow the protocols if you have concerns is a good idea.

Also check the Popular Topics above...much useful advice about embassies and consulates.

Consider your budget, know the locations of Thai Embassies and Consulates, check transit options and hotel prices...go where you might see something different with the required documents and try to travel back in at a land border.

Also, make sure the embassy or consulate is open on the dates you want to go and if an appointment must be made prior for a specific date.

They are the best advisors on-line, my time at the Thai Consulate there was easy because of the advice I received.

I wish my airline travel had been as simple.

The whole thrust of current enforcement on using exempt entry or tourist visas to stay long term, seems to be the desire to get those that can stay long term onto getting those visas that allow them to, and limiting those that don’t want to or can’t qualify for longer stays.

YESSSS

If it’s for show, it will end...if not, it won’t.

Thank you for the strict monitoring...some people seem to think they should command something more than themselves. Courtesy is the grease of society.

Hire yourself a personal ‘minder’ to deal with your creeping dementia. 😳😀
