Astro is completely UX-framework-agnostic, not only can you use Vue, you can also mix various frameworks without issues due to it's Islands Architecture. So you can use React Charts if that is the best charting library, and mix it with Vue and Svelte.

Personally, I just use Astro with vanilla JS and barebone HTML Web Components where needed (rarely).

No, SSG is good for SEO - often better due to lower latency.

Once you force yourself to keep SSG as far as possible, you start to actually design your information architecture according to SSG's shortcomings (lack of dynamic content).

Make sure to set the canonical URL. And have a sitemap and robots.txt. Host with SSL on all pages.

And, have a look at AstroJS, you can still use Vue or Next with it, but its content collections are super useful for SSG.

Great, this is basically my plan - thanks for the confirmation

I did look at Astro - the syntax in most of their template examples looks a bit weird (seems to be React inspired?) and I wasn’t sure Vue could be used directly with it. I’ll give it another look though as it does seem to have some useful features.

Dude, horribly sorry, I lost the notification. Able to connect on Twitter? Apologies again, really shit behaviour but not intentional.

No worries man. It happens to all of us.

I did try that, but it didn't work. Maybe it was because I tested on localhost. Either way, I'll use semantic tags going forward as that is the better approach.

Figure out where they hang before you build.

👆 This!!!

I would even take an extra step back and say: figure out what they want before you build.

Someone should start a school for Thai studies where you never graduate... ;-)

Oh they are schools like that haha

Thank you! Super helpful @augis! I had actually googled before but couldn't make sense of the information as there was conflicting information...

The way I understand it, as a European you don't need a visa for less than 30 days, but if staying more than 30 days you can get a 60 day visa. I didn't understand whether the 60-day visa includes the free 30 days, or excludes them and makes it a total of 90 days?

I'm sure extensive googling would have answered the question but given there are a few people here living in Thailand, I thought I might as well ask.

Maybe should've explained my process better in the initial question.

Either way, it seems the 60-day visa includes the free 30 days, so 60 days total.

Yeah, it was confusing for me too. The 60-days visa includes the free 30 days, so yes, 60 days total as I understand.

You could ask for more days (there is a departure date input), but I didn't want to risk it, because I'm flying already next week.

You have 2 options if you want to stay more than 30 days.

  1. 60 days via Visa on Arrival + 30 day extension
    Get 30 days visa on arrival and before the 30th day get an extension for another 30 days (additional fee of like I think 30$ and plan 6-12h hours time for things to get things sorted out).
    I've done that the process is super easy, but you have to keep in mind that you must do the extension before th 30th day, because even 1 day overstay can cause you trouble. And sometime you cant do it too early so like 1-3 days before your visa ends is good.

  2. 90 days via 60 Day Visa + 30 day extension
    Before you enter the kingdom get a 60 day visa and before the 60th day get a 30 day extension. Make sure to apply for the 60 day visa on time I know people for got a non approval on the day of their flight, so just plan some time in between.

I am not sure but I think you can do the 30 day extension 2 times.

If you want to then stay even longer you can enroll in a thai language course and get an ED visa which has some rules, but basically allows you to stay in the kingdom as long as the language program is running.
