The guy asked best way to stay as a tourist so why would your last 2 points have any relevance for a tourist? He also said he received 45 day entry before so his nationality must be eligible for visa exempt Edited November 28, 2023 by Pattaya57 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya57 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Some options to cover 'several months' stay in Thailand as a tourist: 60 days: visa exempt entry 30 days + 30 days extension 90 days: Single entry tourist visa is 60 days + 30 day extension 120/150 days: do a border run after either of first two above and get another 30 days visa exempt + 30 day extension Edited November 28, 2023 by Pattaya57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 There are various modes of transport available. "Best" is relative. Personally, travelling from Europe I always chose to fly. "Several months" is very imprecise. You mentioned that last time you stayed 75 days, which at that time was the maximum uniterrupted stay possible without a visa. For the same period you would now need a tourist visa, on the basis of which immigration will give you permission to stay for 60 days and if desired you can apply at your local immigration office for a 30-day extension of stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
