TLDR : Answer Summary
This conversation discusses the possibility of making a visa run to Cambodia now that it has opened up, along with the complexities involved in returning to Thailand. Participants mention the need for a Thailand Pass application for re-entry, current entry rules for Cambodia, and the lack of available visas upon return. Concerns around the expiration of COVID-related extensions and the status of flights to Phnom Penh are also highlighted.

What's so good about Thailand that you need to get over there and rush back here/

For now you can get a Covid extension. No need to do a "visa run". They're valid until end of January.

Neither one of the Thai consulates in Cambodia are selling visas. The eVisa system is not enabled there yet either.

 No, I mean Thailand's eVisa system, the system that will let you get a visa to enter Thailand.

Greg Bewick. You could try applying for your Thailand Pass before you leave Thailand? I don't know how that would work, or even if it would work, but someone should give it a go. It might make a "border bounce" a possibility for those who need one

 likewise, I can't find it either, but, in Thai visa advice there was also a post that was withdrawn and Tod Daniels made a little post about it to the effect of we'll wait for more conclusive evidence. So...as with many things Thai, nobody's sure of anything including the leaks.

 Ah I get you, yes it it's been business visas only for quite a while, but now they've reopened the old system, so you can buy it online as before. Maybe not available in the airport yet?
