Listen, if you can't find out yourself on here is not always the best place to ask. Go to your Thai embassy in your country of origin because there's some fuckwits on here giving shit out 🤔🤣
l am like you Dave people ask about the best options and l agree but l am also dubious it doesn't suit every person unless you know theater history 😉
No, that's at your risk. You asked for advice. You can cancel it all and take that chance if you want. Or if you need help go private, it is your choice.
