Easy enough to do a multiple entry tourist ( multiple entry part is important )

You can stretch that into 9 months and come and go as you wish

Get the 60 day tourist visa from nearest Thai embassy .

Do 30 days ,go out of the country and back ,get another 30 days

What other country would allow this ?

Yours ?

Either buck up or piss off

@David ******

they powers that be ,simply don't care at all

How much time have you spent here ?

What place ?

Ah well,it was a good break from the bureaucracy of the multiple entry tourist visa .

I am Canadian and have done 6 months a winter in Thai for 20+ years .

It's not immigration ,it's the airline on boarding that can and sometimes does ask .

I have seen people denied and have friends that were asked .

I always buy a onward ticket .

It's just not worth the possible hassle to me

I recommend you just pick a place and do a a short holiday from your holiday

Ankor wat in Cambodia is stunning .

You will have many people tell you it's not a problem ,indeed most don't have that problem .

But is it worth it to you to gamble ?

Not me

@Lynne ******

that depends entirely on you .

There are lots of cheap places .

If you choose it's quite easy to stay cheaper

@Pete *******

horrible advise
