It was then when I start thinking, “How is it like living in the other countries?” (The program was in UK), “I wonder how is it, if I was born in that country?”, “How different is it from my kind of living now?” and a lot more… Those are just the few that started in my early years of living

Various visas for Thailand can be had at embassies in countries around the world but sadly they eventually expire. In most instances it is necessary to leave Thailand to obtain a new visa. This may mean flying to a different country and visiting the Thai embassy or simply flying out and flying back again.

Those entering by land are granted just 15 days.

Anyone entering on a Visa Exemption and planning to stay more than a month will have to do a visa run of some sort.
