ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is seeking advice on whether they can perform a visa run at the Mae Sot border crossing to obtain a 30-day visa exemption, given their current 45-day visa exemption is expiring. They are married to a Thai national and plan to apply for a 60-day extension based on marriage. Comments highlight that all land borders with Myanmar have been closed for over two years, making a border run to Myanmar unfeasible. Alternatives suggested include obtaining a non-O visa which could lead to a longer extension, as well as a mention of the possibility of traveling by plane to Myanmar.
