My six-month stay (180 days) is coming to an end. Is the only way to leave Thailand by plane or can I take a bus to a neighboring country and then return to Thailand? Will I then receive another 180-day visa stamp (I have a DTV visa)?
Answer summary
The user inquires if they can leave Thailand by bus to a neighboring country and return for another 180 days with a DTV visa, rather than leaving by plane. The comments provide additional context on the visa process, but do not directly answer the primary question regarding modes of departure.

The approval clock is reset from the next day after receipt of docs. Can take another 10 business days for approval, can be sooner.
