TLDR : Answer Summary

Users share tips about applying for the visa at a Thai embassy, mentioning experiences about obtaining a tourist visa in neighboring Laos, and the option of visa runs for extensions.

 applying for a 60-days Tourist Visa at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane, is the best option. You need an appointment, though, and the processing period can be up to 3-4 working days. NOTE: In Vietnam or Malaysia the requirements for an application to a 60-days Tourist Visa are much stricter and more complicated than in Vientiane

 if your plan consists of entering again on a 30 days visa-exempt entry, then this would be you second consecutive visa-exempt entry.

You could be grilled by Immigration upon entry, for the actual purpose of your visits.

So you better be prepared to show, have the three proofs:

**** proof of 20.000.- THB in CASH. Can be in another currency, though

**** proof of accommodation of the next 3-4 nights in Thailand

**** proof of onward travel OUT of Thailand within the 30 days you will get stamped in

I entered with 60 days visa, then I extended 30 days, now I am travelling out of Thailand to get other 30 days but I was asking question how to make 60 days visa from abroad. It seems more expensive than I thought
