You just need a single entry Tourist visa which is obtained from any thai consulate in the UK (London, Birmingham, Hull), which will give you 60 days, then you can extend by 30 days at immigration in Thailand for 1900 baht

Better to apply for a non-im O year visa from hull thai embassy.

They will stamp you in for 3months and no need to visit immigration to extend. (as well as giviing you the right to gain a thai driving licence which the cops are looking for now)

It also spurs you on to sneak in another thai trip later in the year!!!!

ok so im guessing the Non immigrant visa is best yeah?

not sure that you would meet the criteria to get non immigrant O, especialy if you have not been to thailand before

Looks to me like you have 92 days, or perhaps just 91 depending on arrival time in BKK from the UK.

Overstaying, even for one day, is not really recommended, so can you change your departure from BKK to cut back a day or two?

Mac

single entry tourist visa = 60 days, which can extended by 30 days, and then a further 7, this visa is free at present. Non immigrant visa will cost £100, and a lot of paperwork, and you may possibly have to pay someone to do it.

Did anyone, other than Mac count the days? No visa that he would qualify for allows more than a 90 day stay. Day of arrival and departure count. Plans should account for 90 days only. And in that case a tourist visa (free most places) and a 30 day extension of stay (1,900 baht) would seem the best.

I made it 93 days.

A single Non Imm O Visa would only give 90 days and would cost £45. Easily obtainable.

A single Tourist Visa would be free and can be extended at Immigration for a further 30 days 1,900 Baht. You could then extend for a further 7 days 1,900 Baht or do a border run.
