Can I do a same-day visa run to extend my stay in Thailand?

Question

my 180 days are coming up on June. Im not sure what would be easier, can I do a visa run? like going to the border and walking back? same day? and get another 180 days. I have heard applying for the extension is a bit too much and it's easier to go out the country and come back, but can I come back the same day? aka visa run? or leave for a couple of days? This would be the first 180 days on my dtv

The 180 day extension isn’t difficult as long as u do the paperwork properly. If you’re near a border perhaps that’s easier but I find the 180 day extension request is better for me (I’m also on Koh Samui so more travelling for border bounce)

You've held your DTV for five months. You already knew the answer before you even obtained it. You're either bored or trolling.

It's not a visa run as you already have a visa. I recently did a border run at Nong Khai and the IO asked how long I was staying in Laos , and when I said 3 days she smiled and nodded approvingly. Border bounces (out and in the same day) are best done by air or use a specialist travel agency. I don't really understand why people have to leave and come back the same day

To make it the easiest or Straightforward Trip...

As I personally don't like sitting in Mini vans for 10-12hrs a day...

obviously do research unless Flying out, to check which Border crossing are open & for Business coz quiet often I.O may need a little "Tea Money" to make it a smooth process, you could say...
