I would like to know if she has a work permit, and also the kind of visa she entered with. If this story is for real then the practical issues of extensions of stay, 90 day reporting, and work permit renewal will all be part of her 'idyllic' life in Thailand, none of which are mentioned in this article. Further updates of how she is getting on would be of interest. Meantime I remain skeptical that she is nothing more than a tourist enjoying her time here for as long as it lasts, like most tourists.
