I agree 100% with the writer. I do try to keep up with changes as they happen but by no means an expert. I'm always interested in how others are managing. Unfortunately there a re s few on this site that should be removed. They give tourists and expats a bad name.
Get the correct visa. They're too many entering Thailand and trying to rort the system. Try getting into any European country, Australia or America and see what happens. Pay your money and get the correct visa.
I do right when I'm a visitor in a foreign country. Thailand's problem is they let in a lot of trash (holiday millionaires!) Who blind side the local population. If they cause trouble deport, and make sure they can never get back into the country. The Thai don't need or want them and neither do the genuine expat. Simple.
