Can I get another 30 days in Thailand by leaving the country and re-entering after my initial visa exemption granted on arrival?

Upon entering Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption, it is possible to extend your stay. You can either apply for a one-time 30-day extension at a local immigration office or leave Thailand and re-enter to receive a new 30-day visa exemption. However, it's important to have an onward ticket when entering on a visa exemption. Some travelers have reported being granted additional time after brief trips to neighboring countries, but experiences may vary depending on the immigration officer's discretion.
