Can I fly to Cambodia first before entering Thailand on a Tourist Visa issued in Singapore?

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi All, I got my Tourist Visa 60days issued in Singapore already. I submitted my flight details during my visa application showing my flight booking SIN-CNX-SIN. 

If I choose to fly to Cambodia first, then fly from Cambodia to Chiang Mai, does this affect the visa in anyway?

Or must I definitely depart only from Singapore?

Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires whether changing their travel route from Singapore to Cambodia before entering Thailand on a Tourist Visa affects the validity of the visa. A comment suggests that once the visa is issued, the specific route taken to enter Thailand is not significant.

Once you’ve got your visa it’s irrelevant how you actually wing your way to Thailand or which border entry point or airport you use.

the only requirement is that you enter Thailand to use it within 90 days from the date it was issued. There are no other restrictions once it is issued.

Sorry just re-wiring my brain now as I plot my trip.

So if I plan:

Fly Sin - CNX,

Few days later, leave for Siem Reap and come back to CNX

The 60 days stay resets itself upon my entry?

when you enter Thailand they will write "used" on your tourist visa meaning it's no longer valid. You cannot use it again after that.

Brandon Thurkettle And they put that stamp on my single entry Non-immigrant B visa. I have to apply for visa extension with a multiple entry provision.

non-B doesn't come in a multi entry variety. If you obtain outside of Thailand it's single entry, and if you obtain inside of Thailand it's zero entry. Extensions are zero entry also.

Oh. What does zero entry mean? Does it mean once I move out I can't return? If so, then how can I be able to move out and in because I'll be staying for at least 8 months and I'll need to travel out to my home country during this period?

@Kosam *******

zero entry means you're already in the country so there's no entries included. You would need to purchase a re-entry permit from immigration or from the airport before you leave to keep your stamp alive.
