You have a non-O visa, stop is valid for 3 months, so not for one year, this is the problem.

How can I get to hotels near Doi Inthanon National Park after being dropped off at the entrance?

Sylvia ********

@Michelle ********

money is king! In 30 years if travelling here I never been left in the middle of nowhere.

So you have a minivan to the entrance, message and ask them how much to your hotel or can they call someone.

Alternatively contact the hotel and ask if a driver can collect you. Walking maybe an option if you are dropped nearby?

How can I open a bank account in Thailand while on a visa exempt status?

Sylvia ********

@Martin ********

yes I would agree on this, Layer office etc certainly can process anything but have high overheads and many staff. My agent has no office, works from home but even collect you with her car or pay the taxi to meet up, that one to one service for me is the best
