What are good non-Western countries to spend half the year in while living in Thailand?

Steve ***************

I split my time

*****

Steve ***************

@Kevin ********

Jomtien Immigration allow immediate application and next day issue if you apply with the help of a local visa agent. Costs 4,000 baht including the 1,900 baht that immigration charge for the extension. Enjoy your time in the Land of Smiles

How do I apply for the new one-year medical visa in Thailand?

Steve ***************
