6 years is long ago in Thailand the immagraiton rules have changed so much. You get 60 days on arrival. You can travel anywhere you want and a few days before your 60 day visa expires go to any immigration office and get another 30 days. Pay 1900 bht and off you go. The hotel where you are staying is all you need with a current photo. Bingo off you go enjoy the land of smiles 😁

First mistake getting married. Why would you do that. Second mistake border runs just get a retirement visa or DVT.

exactly best to rent everything when you first come to live here. Allows you to settle in and you can see what you like and don't like them make some permanent arrangements. So many basic things to do first and it's not like at home drivers license,Thai id etc. many make the mistake of big spend first up and regret it. Leave your options open would be my suggestion. But there is no one size fits all don't worry about your budget initially just enjoy your environment

@John *********

say you like Buddhist culture and are visiting temples to understand it more. You could travel in Thailand forever doing that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Dave *****

sorry you were asking basic visa questions. I misunderstood I guess. Like I said living here is so different to fly in fly out. But guess you know enjoy mate

Do a tourist visa first and check the place out. Completely different of living here so much to take in.

@Colin ********

yeh welcome to Thailand mate. I join with good intentions but leave most because of the crap is not worth the stress. I find l do most things myself it ain't that hard if you are patient the Thai way.

@Colin ********

l have really liked this group. It is great discussion and information. Starting to get a little crap here but for the most part everyone is really supportive
