I am in going to be to Laos for a little while and I am going to be applying for the 60 day single entry visa. I have already traveled to Myanmar and Cambodia getting my visa on arrival over land twice this year. This brings me to my next question I would like to cross over back into Thailand by land, Is this possible if I get a 60 day tourist visa and cross over by land if I have he got approved and have the visa from the thai embassy in Vientiane? Thank you anyone for you time and help I would appreciate it.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the possibility of entering Thailand from Laos with a 60-day single entry tourist visa obtained from the Thai embassy in Vientiane. Commenters confirm that it is possible to enter Thailand by land with this visa, and clarify that the rule limiting the number of land entries only applies to 30-day visa-exempt entries.

I entered from the US on a 60 day tourist visa. I'm going to Samui for 3p day extension. I will be here till august. Can I do visa runs to Myranmar for the remaining time? If not, what do I need to do to remain legal?

Yes but to my understanding you can go get a new single entry visa from a thai embassy outside of Thailand and get another 60 days and the another 30 form thai Immigration.

The rule of two land entries in a year only count for 30 day visa exempt entries, not when you're comin' into the country holding a valid visa.
