Hi, Yes you're probably quite right & I totally agree your comments. I have traveled annually to Thailand since 2008 & have just relied on my 30 day tourist exempt Visa, occasionally extending to 60 days by exiting Thailand for a few days to a Country of interest & then returning to obtain a further 30 days.

@Pekka *******

I couldn’t agree more. The whole Thai visa issue is unbelievably & unnecessarily complicated, contradictory, & complex. So many variations, surely the whole Thai Visa system could be much simplified so that it could be easier to operate, understand & to control.

The present system creates an eternity of ambiguity, confusion & never ending indecisiveness & argument.

I often have concerns as to how much of the Thai Visa system is confidently understood by the Thai immigration authorities themselves.

So much confusion, so unnecessary.

@Henrik ****

paper every time for me , cuts out all ambiguity, easily accessible, instantly understood & recognisable.

I am not a lover of all this high tech buttons & LED screens, open to all sorts of problems & confusion.

Just my own choice not everyone’s obviously.

@Bernie *********

money talks in Thailand. Thailand will tolerate Farangs, but it loves your money.

@Peter *******

How right you are. Nothing but super confusion & conflicting opinions even by so called professional advisors. Hopeless.

@Bob *********

In my opinion & experience, ‘Well Said’.

@Carl **********

so true

@John *********

They’ll need it.

You will have a great deal of competition by adding yet another restaurant to the many already operating, also much will depend on the type of fare, ie Thai, Greek or other.

An interesting idea, but not easy to do & a great deal to consider. many Thai legal hoops to jump through plus ownership of property or operating a business by a non Thai is very restricted & very difficult to legally obtain.

@Ron *******

well said. Some people will never change or their own perception of being perfect. Little do they realise how imperfect they themselves are.
