ORIGINAL POSTER

My non b visa will be cancelled March 31st.  Is there anyway to extend as a tourist without leaving the country?  Otherwise I'll do a long visa run to Malaysia.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual is inquiring about the possibility of extending their non-B visa before its cancellation on March 31, without leaving Thailand. The responses suggest that obtaining a tourist visa while in Thailand is not possible, and the best option is to perform a 'visa run' to Cambodia, specifically Phnom Penh, with recommendations for the process and alternative ideas for short trips to Laos or the Philippines.

Phnom Penh is your best option most likely, I had to do it over mew year I went on the 2nd came back the 5th,, if you want I have a write up of all the steps you need to take that someone else did and I just followed thst and it all went fine. Pm me if you want it all in all you're looking at around 15k to do it incl flights, Maybe a bit more as long as you can find the flights for about 6k return

I read recently that the Philippines was opening with no quarantine for vaccinated tourists.

. That's true. As the Philippines tourism slogan says "It's more fun in the Philippines"! Might as well make a mini-break out of it. Seems a waste to fly somewhere to just turn around and come back again.

The only realistic "border bounce" is Phnom Penh. Someone did this recently with a three day turnaround. You'll find a detailed description of the process on the Thai visa advice group
