Simple. Get an e-visa from Thai Embassy in your home country. E-visa are for 60 days.

Offer assistance.

DTV gives you six months.

I've been doing this for a couple of years, using the e-visa, for 60 days, getting an occasional extension or trip to Cambodia, when necessary for a total of 90 days. Never had a problem, since I went back to USA, for 2- 3 months or so. Recently, I got DTV, which allows for stays of 6 months.

I've stayed at Vista. It's a nice hotel. Good location, near beach and nightlife. Only thing I didn't like was the pool. Kinda small and little sunlight.

Not one link. Apply at Embassy in the country you're in, many can be done online.

Check e-visa, should still be 60 days.

You will be denied entry eventually. My suggestions: Obtain a long term visa. Or stay outside of Thailand for several months. Don't wait to be denied entry.

If going to Jomtien office, it's 1 week. Every office is different.

1. Have you ever owned or managed a bar or restaurant before?

2. Do extensive research on of the many people who lost billions of Baht starting bars and businesses in Thailand.

3. Do extensive research on those who have been successful.

4. I would never in any country, buy property or start a business, and put everything in a "girlfriend's" name. Insanity!

5. Get good legal advice
