I don't see that it's OK for people to make sweeping statements about those of us who aren't going to be able to stay in Thailand.  Some of us are real nice, decent people.  

 

 

Some are but some aren't and they're the ones that gotta go.

I have read some of your previous posts and I think you do have options.

Ubon Joe:  scares the willies out of me though. When a valid Thai tourist visa is questioned... And it costs a lot! Just to make these hops. Taking a plane to the south was costly, just for a hop.  I figured Mai sae (sp) was good for one hop; but evidently not.  (I'm up north.)  If you could please describe the options that work in the current way things are. Thank you.
