Hey, thanks a lot for your input! I was planning to get a 2-month tourist visa and spend around 2 or 3 weeks in Bangkok, 4 weeks in Chiang Mai and another week or two in Krabi (they've got awesome rocks for climbing and deep water solo there!). I was also considering staying the whole 6 months in Thailand, in which case I would have taken a language course (not only for the visa). But I figured I'd rather travel to more countries and may do that some other winter :) Peter's blog is awesome and his post on bootstrapping in Bangkok was really encouraging to give it a try!
