as I said best of luck. I went out to Thailand last January and ended up staying until August due to Covid. Because I stayed so long, I ended up renting an apartment which was way cheaper than staying in a hotel. I was able to knock 20% off the monthly rental too as there is a glut of supply and many units just sit empty.
, money wasn't the issue, the problem for me is, my girlfriend holds a Belarusian passport. We were apart for almost 9-months this year and don't wish to go through anything like that again, but thank you for your input.
