Your best option would be to use 60 day visa exemption, extend once for 30 more days, and do a border bounce to get 60 again. Or plan a short trip in the region, then your incurred time and cost have a second purpose and aren't wasted.

@Keith ********
so what is going on? Is there a Burmese army waiting at the border to invade?

@Gardar **************************
an METV also requires a border run half way. It has no benefit in his case.

@Kirsten ********
applying for an extension outside of Thailand? How does that work?

And yes, extensions cost money. Other long stay visas, that mostly have yearly extensions, also incur that fee.

@Neil *****
I understand those differences, but it doesn't mean that you can't use the visa to stay in Thailand for five years. You can.

@Ralph ******
good point, some do indeed require a return ticket for that.

But you know the rules. Why do you ask if it is okay to get the visa for the working remote category if you do not work remote? You should know the answer.
