ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi I have a question which maybe someone can help me with. I have a UK passport and  arrived by air from UK to Thailand and was given a 30 day visa. I went to a Thai immigration office and extended it for another 30 days while in Phuket. I have since left Thailand for 2 weeks in which time the visa expired . I am now in Laos and want  return for one final visit. I plan to fly to BKK and onto Chiang Mai. Can I get another 30 day visa on arrival. 

Thanks for any help with this.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, holding a UK passport, inquires about re-entering Thailand after their previous visa expired. They previously received a 30-day visa, which was extended for another 30 days but has since expired after leaving Thailand for two weeks. Responses clarify that the user will be granted a 30-day visa exempt entry upon arrival in Thailand, similar to their prior entry, and this can also be extended by an additional 30 days.

You will get a 30 day visa exempt entrance. Just like the first time. You never got a visa

You won't get a visa but you will get a 30 day visa exempt entry the same as you had previously, which can also be extended by 30 days
