TLDR : Answer Summary

The community discussed the feasibility of doing a border run to Cambodia after stopping an ED visa to return to Thailand on a tourist visa. The consensus is that while a visa exemption might be possible, obtaining a tourist visa typically requires more than 24 hours due to processing times at consulates.

Visa exemption, yes. Tourist visa, no.

No. Any consulate in SE Asia operates on a “apply day one” “pick up day two” (or even three). You can’t do a a visa run in 24 hours.
