Hello. I'm on a 30-day exemption stamp and need to be out by Aug 14. Was thinking cross the border into Malaysia (i'm down south anyway) then return overland as well. Will i get 30 days if it's only the 1st or 2nd overland entry in the calendar year? 

Other question - can I get an extension on my visa exemption instead? If so, what's the current fee for that, how long is it for, and where are there any immigration offices to do this at between Hat Yai, Songkhla, and Surat Thani or Samui? (Samui gave me a meagre week for 1900b once some years back)

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is on a 30-day exemption stamp expiring August 14 and is considering a border run to Malaysia before returning to Thailand. They inquire whether they would receive another 30 days upon re-entry if this is their first or second overland entry in the year. Additionally, they ask about the possibility of extending their visa exemption, including fees, duration, and locations for immigration offices in southern Thailand.

...What is your passport country?

...Have you extended your initial arrival by 30 days yet?

...if you have not extended...then go to Thai Immigration before August 4...get a 30 days extension for 1,900 Thai baht.
