Ok Ian. Fingers crossed. I'm told you can use visa exempt twice a year but as I go mid Nov to Jan 60 days then Jun and July 60 days it overlaps the years so immigration get the hump as looks like 3 times a year . I can't get 90 day o marriage visa as 10,000 pounds is alot to put into a thai bank act and not touch it. I'm not baby boomer generation with big pension and savings .
It must be high volume as everyone applying just before high season. I've been going to Thailand every year since 2007 and they make it harder and harder for average joes to come and spend cash in their country. They only want super rich coming for 2 weeks then bugger off.
