Hey everyone, I just have some questions you might be able to help me out with. So I am planning on staying in Thailand for 6 months or so, maybe longer. I will be helping out at an orphanage for a few months, then traveling to some beaches, and heading up north to Chiang Mai to visit some friends for the water festival. I need to get a visa and am confused about what kind to buy and if I will need to cross the border once a month after the first 3 months. (That's what I did last time I went.) Or, can I buy a visa with more than one entry, and will that make it last longer? Not too sure, but I want to figure this out and make it the cheapest way possible.

Please help me out if you know your stuff.

Thanks a lot.

You neglected to say who or where you are so will make an educated guess you are American. Full visa information is on this link - scroll to bottom for a list of Consulates that you can apply by mail and there contact details.
