I'm American. Since the US Embassy site says I can only stay for 90 days without a visa, I was curious if there are any issues getting one. Are you also Americ

  I am going to say don't listen to this guy. I think the advice is bad. See: http://www.thaivisa.com/visa-overstay-thailand.html http://www.thaivisa.com/visa-overstay-thailand.html You can keep re-entering the country as a tourist and get an extension from what I've seen. There are a lot of places that do visa runs over the various borders. I would advise being very mindful of visa issues and respecting the laws. It's very easy to get around and get visas, but don't play around with the expiry. If you do plan to stay longer term, figure out a proper visa.

  Yes, I'm American. The Philippines is great because it's English speaking and the tourist visa is good for 18 months before having to do a visa run. You still have to renew your tourist visa every two months though (quick trip to the local immigration office will take care of that.) To be more specific on my advice, if you are mobile then you have a wide area to chose from. Thai visa is a pain? Then try Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam or the Philippines. There are so many places to see here that you don't have to worry much about where to stay. Keep your plans flexible and be open to different routes. That said, you won't have a problem with Thailand. I haven't had to deal with the 90 day visa limit there, but I'm pretty sure that it's an easy visa run to stay on for another 90 days. Living in Asia, that's too much of a pain for me though, which is why I chose the Philippines.
