There are no stupid questions just stupid answers. Like you I find it a bit of a mine field.

Yep, turn up and get a visa exemption which can be extended one time.

As for another visa type you will need to go to the official web site.

Supporting those who abuse the system then claiming you do not is an odd stance. Their abuse will affect you.

@Sam ****

clearly you have a problem with Thailand so do not go there. Stay at home with your limited circle of friends

I do not have a problem with Thailand or its rules. The problem is that the rules Thailand imposes are always to address the abuses of minoriries like you but affect the majority that abide by them.

My problem is with people like you who think Thailand should be run like their own counties.

I am guessing that these changes impact you.

@Sam ****

wealthy travel to many countries not just one. Someone entering a country multiple times in two to three years soley on a tourist visa is most likely working here, not disclosing that fact and evading taxes.

Are you American by any chance?

@Sam ****

if you do not see a problem with multiple "tourists" visa over a sustained period then you are the problem. Tourist do not stay in one country for thst period. It would appear they may have some form of business.

So why are you in Thailand.

@Lynnette ******

looks like they will be.

Sorry to say this but if you have been doing border bounces every sixty days for 2-3 years you are the resson the rest of us will be penalised.

Recommendation.

Get a proper visa for the reason you are in Thailand.

@John ******

that is not entirely true. Whilst KSA is very restrictive others are not. USAs interference in the Middle East has made matters worse. I read recently that the Iraq invasion resulted in an 80% decrease in the number of Christians in the country and of course the creation of ISIS.

Free to join the new state? That's like you taking over my home and saying I am free to live there. I would be pissed but I guess that would make me a terrorist if I challenged you.

I lived the the Middle East for many years.

@John ******

as you say left alone.

So why did they not leave the Palestinians alone in 48? The only problem at that times was groups of Jewish terrorists like Irgun.

If you wish to believe the propaganda from Mossads play book then there is nothing I can say.

@John ******

well TDS means to me Total Disolved Solids. So not sure what stage 4 is.

The problem with Israel is that they own the world since Adam and Eve were the first humans but appear to be in the wrong location, maybe Iran and Iraq. Then go find another rabbit hole and it's South Africa or Eghiopia. Lands has changed hands over the years, rightly or wrongly, and I do not see the Anericans willingly hand the states back to the original owners. So why should the Palestinians hand their land back? I have Palestinian friends and what I gave been told does not come from the Mossad handbook. In my line of work integrity and honesty was the key so had no reason to doubt them
