Hi,
As you already know I'm American.
I have seen the immigration rules for a 30 day stay exemption.
I'd of course be entering Thailand over land.
I'd like to stay there 5 months.
Is there a trick to staying 5 months and exiting back to the states from Thailand?

Hi SystemsNicaragua,
Please note that your topic is now on the Thailand forum as you wish to move there. It might help you to get more information about Thailand. 
What do you mean by "is there a trick?" , hope that you are not referring to something illegal as Expat.com does not encourage/tolerate illegal activities.
I think that the embassy will be able to give you further information about visa.
Please feel free to read these articles on visa as well : https://www.expat.com/en/guide/asia/tha … visas.html
Good luck,
Priscilla

I didn't mean anything illegal, I simply was trying to avoid leaving after 30 days and re-entering and repeating that for 5 months.
Seems a bit silly.
