if you are a cigarette smoker, don't roll your own by hand, it's illegal 🤣🤣🤣

@Christopher ************

are they really so pedantic about a foreigner doing such a minor chore such a minor fix on one's own house that doesn't require any specific qualifications?

@Jo *********

Maybe my third sentence confused you, but can't you see from reading my comment, that I was referring to short term tourist options, not long term visas?

@Tod ********

thanks

I'm not living in Thailand yet, but curious... the overstay as mentioned by

@Tod ********

at the end of the post, although not fined, does that still go down as a small 'black mark' against one's name with Immigration?

Living in Thailand for one year on tourist visas? Or Visa Exempt entries? There's no visa that will allow you to live in Thailand for a whole year. If you use Visa Exempt, you might be questioned by Immigration Officers in the second half of that year. If using Tourist Visas obtained outside Thailand, you might be a little luckier, but they might refuse you entry at some point.

I don't know what I have said that is wrong, that you needed to 'correct' me on. I didn't provide any specific information, rather, suggesting that the OP provide more information, so that others can be specific in their advice. That's why the two questions at the beginning of my comment. I'm fully aware that if one has a Thai Driver's License, they don't need an IDP. from personal experience, I know that an IDP is for people who are visiting another country, short term, who wish to drive themselves around while in foreign countries.

On Saturday, I watched the regular TNT live video on YouTube by Tim Newton. He had a Thai Insurance Broker on the video this week, answering questions asked by Expats, mostly about Health Insurance. Tim has apparently had health insurance through this guy, Max, for about 13 years and has a lot of trust in him. In this video, Max comes across as a very nice and genuine guy, who knows his stuff.

In sure that Trump wouldn't like you. He prefers people who will physically be on the rioting front line, not people who make unnecessary and unsolicited comments like this keyboard warrior mentality.
