Our First Songkran Festival
Living in a different culture means holidays are different. Sometimes there are only slight changes (Thais still celebrate Christmas by doing a lot of shopping) other times it’s completely different. It’s by embracing those differences that we truly get to branch out and understand more about the place we are and the culture behind it.
The Joys of Extending a Tourist Visa
I recently had the "pleasure" of renewing my short term visa, a journey that took 7 hours. Tourist visas in Thailand last for a standard 30 days. If you need more time, the 2 most basic options are either 1. leave the country and come back or 2. go through the visa extension process. Documents-wise, extension is pretty straightforward. Everything else-wise, it is not.
