Arrive visa exempt you then need to go to an immigration office near where your staying line up and hopefully you have everything they want to see then pay 1900baht can only extend once giving 60days total. Advantage of visa as Brandon said is you get 60 days on arrival and can extend another 30 if wanted. Tr60 better option don't need to go to immigration to get 60days.
i used to fly exempt for 6 years. Being over 50 i have retirement OX 5 year visa now.
They are all overpriced. Scoot suited my roster better but by the time you buy the extra,s they are not much cheaper, i did enjoy the $6 board first option with scoot.
Metv still does not guarantee entry if they dont like you on the day and some say the Ed visa can make them question you more.
I also do 2 and 2 any fly every month, was using scoot but the last 4 flights they have been delayed with this weeks delayed from Saturday return to Tuesday. I will go check out thai see if their service is reliable for fortnightly flights.
As Darren said new passport means nothing it’s all on computer when you have entered and left.
No, from Australia, i spend 2 weeks every month in each country and travel with my fire stick as i use it on the remote mine site i work at then use it in Thailand. Currently using it plugged into the hotel tv in Pattaya this week. Not using any vpn using the hotel free wifi as connection
