I arrived in Thailand in October and was given the standard 60 day exemption and then went to Laos for a week and returned to Thailand to get another 60 day exemption, but I am wondering if I can do another boarder run or do I need to go to immigration and settle for a 30 day extension
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is inquiring about the possibility of doing another border run after utilizing their 60-day visa exemption obtained upon entering Thailand and subsequently re-entering after a brief trip to Laos. Commenters provide various insights, discussing the risks and rules around border runs, the importance of demonstrating a tourist pattern, and the option to obtain a 30-day extension at immigration if necessary. They also note that doing a border run may not guarantee entry, and suggest considering the date of departure relative to the visa expiration.
