We just celebrated our second month of being over here and we've become very wise in our 9 weeks of travel. Some refer to us as native Thai's, most don't. But nonetheless, we are quickly learning the tricks of the trade.
Trick of the trade # 1: Visas. If you buy a plane ticket to Thailand - they put a pretty little stamp in your passport that will grant you 30-days in the country. Very few questions asked. It's a pretty good deal until your month is up... and then what? The process of getting a work-visa is sort of tricky, expensive, and time consuming. So we have two options; cross the border every month or find a longer solution.
That leads us to Laos, the longer solution. That's what we are up to this week. We have to make a stop to the Thai Embassy over there to be granted a 60-day Visa with option for renewal. You're probably thinking that sounds like a boring trip to make by itself... so why not make a vacation out of it? Our thoughts exactly.
Think of us this week while we visiting National Parks, becoming Mahouts, taking Meditation classes, and exploring everything Northern Thailand has to offer. Stay posted for pictures from our upcoming adventure, my friends.
