Hi,
I'm living in Nakhon Pathom, near Kampang Saen, and Kasetsart University -- and having the time of my life! I love this place!

Just got here less than a month ago and I am getting ready to leave the country for a few days again and extend and renew the ol' visa. i wish there was some end to this! i wish there was a way to make the stay A LOT longer! Say, a year or so? Now, wouldn't that be nice? There likely is a way, but I just got here again and started my research and haven't found that way yet. But I will. HA! As some of you may know, immigration does not make it easy for Americans to stick around in Thailand. Lol. That is as may be, but it is still worth it to come and live here.

Anyway, great to be here, and looking forward to some good information!

You can get a one year education visa where you regularly attend Thai language classes (I think a min of 4 hours a week) - no age restrictions as far as I'm aware.

Welcome to the forum Poisian
It's not just the Yanks that find it hard to stay in Thailand.

Still, when you retire, it gets a bit easier.
