ORIGINAL POSTER

Gd morning. I came in half oktober for 30 days to Thailand and after went to penang for a 2 month visa and took an extension in Samui till begin of February. From begin February I have to leave Thailand but would like to come back for 2 more months. Is a border run and 1 extension possible or better to fly out the country? Could it maybe be done from the Birmese border near Ranong? Or do I need to take another visa? Thx for any suggestions that could clarify 🙏
