Just learned how much a proper visa can actually save you
I was looking into staying in Thailand for a while and found a detailed blog post from a nomad in Chiang Mai. They broke down the real cost of doing visa runs versus getting a proper long-term visa. The stat that got me was that over a year, the constant border runs can cost nearly $2,000 more when you factor in flights, hotels, and lost work days. I always thought the short tourist stamps were the cheap way, but the math doesn't lie. Has anyone else done a full cost comparison for their base country and been surprised?
