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) Iโ€™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 ๐Ÿ™

TLDR : 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.

You can go to the Immigration Office and apply for an 30 day Extension of Stay, cost 1.900 Thb or go again to Mae Sai border for a new 30 day Visa Exempt Entry.

@Jack ******
they are added to your current stay, going early does not loose days.

Sorry one more quick question. Do they add the 30 days to the day I go or onto the date stamped in my passport?
