Can I do another border run after my first one in Thailand?
Hey all, just looking for some advice. I did my first ever border run last month to Mae Sai and got stamped (runs out 27th December) I’ve decided I want to stay 1 more month until January 25th. Is my best/quickest option just to do another border run? Is 2 in a row ok? Thank you 🙏
Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on extending their stay in Thailand after their first border run, which is expiring soon. Commenters suggest two options: applying for a 30-day extension at a local immigration office for 1,900 Baht, or doing another border run to Mae Sai for a new 30-day visa exempt entry. They confirm that doing two border runs in a row is generally acceptable.
