Yes I tried that first but found it horrible so I used a Visa company for the first time. Have had Non-O multiple entry for years. Now they only give 90 days single entry. I'm not sure which direction we are heading...
But as a Samui resident it would not apply right? I'm working on a ship in Ireland now and then traveling to Sweden a few days before heading to Thailand. Both countries are on the list, so it should be alright then?
