Ahh, Ok. I didn't know that. This is my first post. I just saw criticising after one post and seemed unfair.

One negative remark doesn't make him a pessimist, and according to him, it's the truth and he's just reporting. Plus the post included several other points, making it helpful. Moreover, I'd rather have a negative post than no post and I form my own opinion after reading. All sharing is welcome as long as it's non offensive. Being critical of one remark should be for offensive ones not negative remarks that may very well be true.

Yes. Sometimes we overthink and we need to hear or read this to focus. But sometimes we don't think enough and either way, people's posts and sharing help. Good luck to you.

Thank you to everyone for posting and sharing. Good luck to you.

Thank you for your post. Yes, I was wondering about the pros and cons of land vs air and your post helps a lot. I haven't been to Thailand in over 5 years. I never had a Thai ED Visa.

Jack, you keep putting words in my mouth. You keep assuming the wrong meaning. Are you here to chat and share or be disruptive. I never said I'm flying to a nearby country to enter Thailand. Did it occur to you the simple meaning that there's a chance I'm flying to that region anyway before Thailand and that's why I'm asking. I never tried land entry to any country. Another simple reason for simply asking and finding out what people will share. Thank you for your participation Jack.

I never asked about extensions based on Thai family/Spouse. I simply admitted that I never knew that. Then you asked me if I have a Thai wife for clarification. Currently, I'm in Egypt. I realise I can apply from here. I'm simply asking about an alternative way because there's a chance I will fly to one of the three safe neighbouring countries. The three are Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos. Cambodia barely making the list due to recent complications. And maybe a land entry will be easier, quicker, even give a longer stay period or the extension is longer or easier to do. The Egyptian passport gets E-Visa/Visa on Arrival in Cambodia and Laos and Visa free entry into Malaysia.

Yes, visa validity is completely different from period of stay. You're right. Again, it's new information to me that some IO's will give both extensions (tourism + family/spouse) simultaneously. Even if I can't use the new info (cuz I'm not married), it's still good info. Thanks for sharing.

No, I don't have a Thai wife.

I'm 45 by the way.

Thank you for sharing. I actually didn't know that METV can be extended for Thai family / Spouse visits.

Thank you trying to help.

Thank you

I would like to stay a minimum of 3 months and up to 6 months if possible.

Yes, I understand that I have to meet the visa requirements of the neighbouring county. But regardless of the requirements, which county do you think is best for entry by land into Thailand?
