Thanks for the info DrJack. May I just ask a few more things please? Will I need to buy health insurance locally, and have it on hand (carry it with me, in to Thailand) for my re-entry into Thailand, in order to get the second 12 months? And I forget - where do I purchase the re-entry permit(S)? Your added note is noted. I’ve yet to make up my mind about 3rd year, so I’ll keep your advice in mind. Thanks again.
