@Nongnuch *******

You may be right .

But it is there rules .

@Nongnuch *******

25 years ,never a issue ..they can see I go home for 6 months ,not playing the system .

NEVER!!!!overstay

@Sam ****

yes .

You get two months ,then a 1 month extension .

You leave ,walk over walk back .

You get the whole thing again twice .

I am a Canadian .

Spent the last 25 winters in Thailand .

Easy easy multiple entry(important )

Tourist visa .

You can get up to 9 months on it

Easiest .

You get 9 months

Multiple entry(important ) tourist visa .

Do it so you miss the hot season and or rain season

I would go to immigration office they can be very helpful during difficult times .

You may get an extension

Immediately ,before 60 buy international.heakth insurance .

Before 60 no health checks ,at 60.it gets way more expensive !!!!

Also BUY nothing for two years !!!!rent is so cheap and you have control as you can leave at at By time ...building a new high rise beside you ,a new karioky bar ,20 barking dogs ,a pig farm etc etc

You value things based on home prices ,but when you sell its Thai prices .

You nothing about Thai rules ,noise ,building quality etc etc .

lIVING is nothing like holidaying !!!!

Best bet ,get a multiple entry tourist visa and go for 9 months .

I love Thailand have spent twenty winters there .

Go slow

Don't forget that you would go to immigration prison if stopped .

You don't like it .

I would go ask immigration ,they might give you a week extension given the Cambodia situation

nobody included the fact that you will go straight to immigration prison if stopped for any reasons
