Do I need a visa to visit Thailand from Canada in December?

@Rick *********

That's 16 days. Nothing to worry about but do remember the online thing you submit 72 hours before arriving. But even that you can do on arrival.

@Marianne *******

You are correct. 60 exemption on arrival but ,at least from Canada, you can apply for a tourist of 2 months and can be extended to 4 months with either a visit to Immigration or a border run.

Can I buy health insurance from a local Thai company or find better deals in Canada?

Gerard **************

All true and and add in high unemployment and zero vacancy rates thanks to the flood of newcomers. Only good price on anything lol is black market cigarettes. And the only reason for that is they come through Native reserves. Don't get me started on domestic flights.

Do I need to take a cooking course every time I enter Thailand on a DTV visa or just once every five years?

Gerard **************

I think he's joking.

But seriously for all the hand wringing from the Thai about dropping tourist numbers why don't they allow longer visas.?

Having said that I have never been questioned coming and going to BKK.
