@Kal ********
the Thais do not pronounce it as farang....it’s pronounced falung........they make the r sounds into L sounds......

if you say farang and emphasize the ‘ rang ‘ part you will just appear as a total newb

@Dale ********
Any arguments about wearing masks is a sign of human stupidity....plain arrogance ....Thais are happy to wear masks, it’s not a big deal and some do all year round, they are used to wearing masks for the pollution and burn off months, so when covid came along no problem, wear a mask, hence Thailand , like Hong Kong and Taiwan have small infection rates...it’s been proven beyond doubt that the simple act of wearing a mask cuts transmission significantly....it’s not a hardship, you don’t have to wear it at home.......get a brain all

the I don’t want to wear a mask muppets......idiots.

@Bobby *******
that’s ok western people can do the same
Bruce *****************
the masks slow transmission, Taiwan is one example as is Hong Kong......there’s very little support for not wearing a mask, even the WHO has changed policy...many studies now support mask use, even if it’s just a home made cloth one.....

The proper tourist visa gives her 60 days...and this can then be extended for another 30days
Bruce *****************
To be honest, in the long run the single entry tourist visa is the better option....a little planning goes a long way if circumstances change....
Bruce *****************
She just flies straight in....gets a 30day visa exempt....this can be extended for another 30days.........that’s 60 days/2 months.

Flies to South Korea......flies back in and repeats....no problems.

You can extend that 30 day visa extension for 1 more month at chiangmai immigration....cost 1900 baht
