Thank you so much for this, Sheryl, greatly appreciated 🙂

Hello, I live and work in Chiang Mai. I have a spot on my back that I would like to get checked out. My general practitioner recommended the skin clinic at RAM, however, all reviews look brutal. I wanted to ask if anyone suggests a dermatological clinic in Chiang Mai to have a skin screening done by a reputable doctor. Thank you

For me, meditation has been the major catalyst for feeling great at 46. Having more control over the mind helps me avoid the things that are not good for me while being more disciplined in the activities that promote good health.

Hey, thanks a lot for all of the great responses here. This gives me a lot to consider and provides good direction, much appreciated! I need the most clarity about invoicing Thai organizations if I'm a US registered consultant, as it relates to being aware of what I can get away with and what I really need in order to comply, etc. Looking forward to digging into this. Thanks again everyone! Happy 2024

Seasons Greetings! I've been working in Chiang Mai and Mae Sot for several years with ngo's and about to start my own consultancy working with US and Thai/Sub-Mekong region organizations. I am from the US and thought it would make sense to register it there, but now I wonder if it should be registered in Thailand. Around 50% of my work in Thailand would be consulting with Thai organizations, and the rest remote work for US projects. Does anyone know where I can find resources to dig into this? Any benefits for a visa for a registered business? Thanks in advance, merry Christmas and happy festvus!

Any leads in here?

Quite obvious that most In here are drinkers not smokers and truly have no clue about the matter but chose to make snide remarks, mods included

Anyone know where I can find an ounce of primo Blue Dream in Pattaya? Not interested in over priced dispensaries. I was here here a couple months ago and found 270 baht grams on the strip. Looking to find a local hookup for an ounce at a good price. Thanks!!

I really can't thank you and this board enough. This is exactly what I needed...some ideas to help kick my creative thinking into a higher gear. Extremely appreciative, thank you.

I think its possible to get more than one ED visa. I obviously don't know what the rules are around this, but its hard to believe you can only get one ED visa per life.

I prefer the single life for now. I was married at 25, divorced at 27 and thoroughly enjoy the single life in Thailand ???? I am a big fan of no strings attached and simplicity. Thai visas...not so simple tho lol

thanks for this suggestion. For now I am just looking for one more year once my current visa expires and this could include a month or two outside of Thailand before returning. My long term vision is to get a retirement visa at 50. Until then, I would like to experience living in other SE Asian countries...

thank you so much for your thoughtful reply, I really appreciate it! ???? for the sake of keeping my original post short, I did not include my backstory of living here off an on for the past several years. I have volunteered at schools in the past through volunteer visas and I took a year of Thai in 2019, loved it and had an ED visa. I was stuck for almost 2 years back in the US during covid. During that time I realized I wanted to use my years of business experience but in the non-profit world. I decided to return to Thailand to volunteer with one of the best non-profits here to transition into the non-profit world. To be honest, I can make a lot more money and make a much larger impact as a freelance grant writer than I can in an office in Thailand. So now I am trying to find the right solution to get this new career off the ground and to start it in thailand. Hope this makes sense ???? Thanks again

Ok so I have had an ED visa in Thailand before, for all of 2019. It was with a language school. I also had a volunteer visa in 2016 when I volunteered at a school.

thanks so much, I really appreciate your detailed response. So it sounds like getting an ED Visa after my Volunteer visa would not be a problem. What about back to back SETV that I could get from visa runs when say, KL opens up? How many of these can one get away with back to back?
