Many people overstay for years sooner or later you have to get it resolved, it can be resolved by a nice immigration copper for 20,000 baht approx. If you get caught though you better grow fond of the nice friendly Thai version of "Bubba" wanting you to cuddle him of an evening.

I dont think its easy to marry anyone.

If you want a 1 year visa with not much hassle go and learn Thai for a year.

Use 100 of your 100,000 savings and get a proper visa, non-o from Hull will see you good for up to 15 months

As to what happens if you overstay:-

• Minimum will be 500 Baht per day (max 20,000) fine at the airport and a nasty 'overstay' stamp in your PP.
  
• Worst? Arrest, vacation in the IDC, deportation, persona non gratia status.
  

An awful lot of people seem to get away with just the maximum fine, of course, you could just be the 0.001% who gets jailed

You would still need a visa!

Most of these guys are pulling your leg. If you're British, go to Hull and get a proper visa They are not expensive, (about $50 U.S..) and not difficult to get. No reason for you NOT to get a visa, then you are "clean", and if you play your cards right, (You'll learn after you're here a while), you can live here almost indefinitely, if you play by the rules.

It's all worth it, but if you cheat, and get caught, the penalties are extreme. Use your head, and the information that's available on this forum.......and good luck, ErnieK

I think the "100 grand" reference was baht or perhaps Lao Kip.
