They just need to do away with visa exempt if this is the case. The idea that you are not just a tourist because you enter twice in a year is absurd. What about travelers that are not working, not living there but just want to move slower and also visit neighboring countries? They are going to not only hurt tourism but also Bangkok’s status as the flight hub for the region. I think it might be best to enter SE Asia and exit via KL now otherwise expect to be harassed.
I stayed right at airport in the Tune hotel. It is owned by air Asia. You will save as you don’t need to pay for transportation. There are also several good food options at the airport.
Congrats on your visa and thank you for sharing this information. I’m wondering will you need to continue the cooking program for the duration of the visa?
Every time I join a new FB group there is a get to know you period when I learn who to block. It really helps as most people are there for the right reasons.
