@Shayne *********

is horrible for their health though

Canadian here.

I have gone for 25+ winters,6 months at a time.i did the visa free last year,I won't do that again ..just get the multiple entry tourist visa ,you can get 9 months from it and it's a done deal with no need to scramble when/if the change the 60 days to 30 .

It won't cut the criminals down but it will for sure cut a few million tourists out .

Email your nearest Thai embassy,then phone them

Try 9 months first.

Multiple entry tourist visa give you 9 months .

Two extensions and twice out and back

@Graham *****

out and back twice

Not one year ...but 9 months .

Multiple entries(important !) tourist visa .
