nonsense, they do think it's acceptable to be a tourist WITH A VISA for 8 to 9 months, or they wouldn't give it to you in the first place, your thinking about all the people that are being denied entry trying to live in Thailand, on free 30 day visa exempt stamps. I'm in Thailand now on an METV, and have been for months, bouncing in and out of Thailand and doing extensions nobody has said anything.

@Oliver ********

don't stay with the same girl for more than 3 days, then change the girl for a new one, then just carry on repeating the process, it's suggested to do this so there is no emotional attachment, and therefore you don't fall in love with a brass 😂😂🤷🙆🤦

@Chris *****

you suggest most Thai women are sex workers if they speak English, some are well educated, having been to university etc, some have just worked in hospitality, but yeah if her English is very good, I would question why.

@Jorge ***

granted there is crime in Thailand, but it's at a very low level, it's obvious the way you can leave things lying around and nobody touches anything, most people are honest.

@Barry ******

never rent anywhere with a stupidly high deposit, I wouldn't trust any landlord with a large deposit, I've never rented anywhere with a deposit more than ฿4000 or ฿5000, and by the time they take out for water and electricity, most of has gone then anyway, so it would only be a small amount if they didn't give it you back.

@Oliver ********

they are not all bad, but a very high percentage of the girls that are working will only want you for one reason "money" the general advice is, if you spend time with a working girl, don't break the 3 day rule.

Ordinary Thai people are great, if you're going to spend extended periods of time in Thailand, I would recommend staying in the major Thai cities (not the tourist cities) the only thing that you don't have is western style bars, most of the scammers, and the people after your money, are in the in the tourist resorts, if you haven't got to involved in the tourist resorts with ladies etc, that's probably why you haven't experienced it yet.

@Oliver ********

I don't think you realise how bad the UK is, until you leave.

sometimes I don't know if people are just clueless! or they are trolling, I'm currently on an METV, and you can leave Thailand and return as many times as you want to, that's by land or air, and you can extend each stamp in your passport by 30 days only once, that's over the period of time the visa is valid for, it is valid for six months from the date of issue.

@Etincelle *********

what do you think the purpose of having an METV is??
