sorry, first one was by air. only laos was border entry by land. DUH!!!

just initial stamp coming in and once coming in from laos.

well, I have my original tourist entry visa at BKK. then I have 2 stamps right close to each other. one says Feb 8 and the other says Feb 11 and I don't know what they are or why they are 3 days apart. remember my life was completely topsy turvy at that time. I was under strict doctors orders to not walk more than 100 feet. Then there is a stamp until March 13, again, sort of confused about what that one was since I think I was supposed to get a medical 90 days (I had letter from doctor) but only stamped me in until Mar 13. The next one is stamped until June 11, which is definitely a medical visa since when I went to get that updated they told me at immigration I had to either have another medical or I had to go to Nong Khai and sign back in through Laos. I have that one until July 10. Sorry I seem sort of brain dead, but the first ones definitely I was very out of it with the heart failure and being hospitalized and then hospitalized again for back issues that left me in ICU again. I did not even get the medical myself. International ladies went to immigration for me and got it done cause I did not go. So, does this make any sense, at all?

Thanks herman. i am flying to Cambodia.

thanks Herman. I can do this in Udon Thani after I get my next border jump. or should I wait until I get back from Cambodia?

no, not helpful at all. I was taken care of very well here in thailand. very well as i have had 2 previous failures in the US and the US doctors cleared me to come to thailand. I will be starting a suit about that, so I don't have any more confidence in america than I do here. i received excellent treatment and continue to do so. and for about 5% of the price. so if you have something to offer about my original query, please do, but my medical plans are taken care of just fine.

Thanks Tod. That is all I need to know. You can close thread now. Thank you again for all your help. I do plan to get a retirment visa, which is my ultimate goal. However, I would like to wait until Jan 2019 to get the money distribution for a thai bank accout. This is a tax thing. I don't want to pull that much money out this year for the tax implications unless I have to . If I have to, I will just have to eat the extra tax. Thanks again.

I was assuming that's what I got when I went to Laos and came right back to Thailand. I really cannot tell what visa\stamp I received. All I know is it's good until July 10. OK?

2 visa exempt entries by land. 1 visa exempt entry when i entered Thailand by air. No single entry tourist visa from thai consulate. 2 entries based on my medical condition with letter from doctor stating I could not fly and she wanted me to have 90 day visa. When I went to immigration the first time, they only gave me 30 days. When International ladies at Wattana hospital got visa for me I received the other 60 days. Go figure. Do you need any other information?
