I entered on a visa exemption initially, but then switched this (from within Thailand for a fee) to an ED. After my ED ended, I canceled it and applied for COVID extensions.
In my case, so you believe my current COVID extensions are from my ED visa, or the visa exemption on which I initially entered the country?
I would have normally never chosen to live in Thailand, but I’ve been here since the beginning of the pandemic and it’s been great. The Sandbox would allow you to get here and still enjoy it for awhile without mass tourism, so l would definitely recommend that option.
