A colleague entered Thailand on a 60 day tourist visa. He has extended a further 30 days. He needs to extend again. Am i right in thinking he is able to do a land border cross for another 30 days?
Answer summary
A colleague who entered Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa and has already extended it for another 30 days can perform a land border crossing (known as a 'border bounce') to extend their stay for an additional 30 days. This can be done twice within each calendar year. Upon re-entry, they will receive a 45-day stamp, plus they can apply for another 30-day extension at a Thai immigration office for a fee of 1900 Thai baht.

FORGET what Thai Embassy's say... what's important is the reality of what can be done when you are in Thailand.

Thai Embassy's are part of the Thai Foreign Ministry...

Thai Immigration Officers are part of the Royal Thai Police.

Their rules of entry and stay in Thailand can and do vary.

YES he can do a Land BORDER BOUNCE two times EACH calendar year. Now will get 45 days stamp on entry Plus one 30 day extension of stay from local Thai immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.
