if you arrive on a 60 day tourist visa, and then apply for a one year ED visa at an informal school inside Thailand, they only usually give you one year from the last time you stamped in, so if you arrive on a 60 day tourist visa, you only actually get 10 months of an ED visa, you can apply before you arrive in Thailand on the E-visa site, or just apply when you arrive inside Thailand, it's best to contact a school in the area you want stay in, and get them to explain everything.

Simple....... because you're being robbed by a bunch of thieves, before covid flights were between £350 and £450 for low season, and between £450 and £550 for high season return!! at the end of covid when they announced the world would be opening again, flights just doubled and trebled "over night" blaming the Russian and Ukrainian conflicts for fuel prices, complete and utter BS, they knew they could charge whatever they wanted, and people would pay it, because they was desperate to go on holiday again, as long as everyone is paying these ridiculous prices they will never go down again.

as long as the person has got adequate travel insurance, you can't cover every single possible scenario 🤷

Just seen you want a 60 day tourist visa, I think you need to show an onward ticket for the visa anyway, to get the visa approved.

if the airline staff refuses to allow you to check in, just step away from the desk and book a cheap ticket on Skyscanner to a neighboring country (usually about £20) within the amount of time you get stamped into Thailand for, the booking is instant, go back to the desk and you will be allowed to check in, get to the airport early!!

if the photo is to big, just "crop" them in your phone's photo editor.

You must have a relative that can help you out, it's a bit of a pain, but it's not that difficult, I've seen people on here saying that a younger relative, that's been brought up on a laptop helped them out.

Why mess around buying fake tickets?? And worrying about someone might check it?? You can buy a real one, to a neighbouring country for like £20, I myself bought one of them fake tickets once, I didn't even use it, it looked so fake like someone had just made it on a word document, sure it had a booking reference, I enter it into the airlines website and it brought up a booking, but the only information on the booking was my name, obviously fake if anyone checked up, it was £14 for the fake ticket why bother 🤷🙆🤦

it is not double the time on the bus, it's about the same, a two hour journey.

getting rid of cash, it seems to be a world wide thing, governments see the cash economy as being linked to criminality, or money moving around that hasn't had tax paid on it, at least in Thailand there are lots of ways to pay cashless that doesn't cost anything, in the UK it's all chip and pin contactless payments, where there are lots of charges, the companies that supply the card readers, by basically being the middle man, between you and the bank are making millions in transaction fees, it is all wrong.
