third is the way, it's either great for me so far but LINE of all things eventually detected it as a voip number and locked me out of my account. That was a stressful day.

How can I get a second Thailand number on the same phone using AIS?

easy until you need to top up or anything since the account isn't in your name (in my experience)

probably wouldn't hurt to have proof of onward travel, required funds, and accommodations, but I haven't been asked for any of those post covid

2 land borders are allowed per year. "Unlimited" air entries.

I actually just reread your comment and it sounds like you've only done one land border and probably only spent about 3-4 months in Thailand this year.

I'm no expert but I don't think you'll have any issue crossing into Thailand by bus.

yeah, I think it's only two land border crossings per year. Maybe you'd be okay after the new year but I'm unclear on that. I suspect you wouldn't have any issue if you were to fly in.

oh, that could be interesting, maybe get them to pick me up near the border or something. Thanks for the idea!

thank you for the advice! I was eying some of the southern land borders around Trat to Cambodia but a trip back to Issan doesn't sound terrible.

I just really loathe the idea of 10 hours or whatever in a minivan that a visa agent would entail.

I was hoping to do the same but from what I can gather, it's closed. I think we'll go to Laos.
