Can I leave Thailand during my single entry visa validity and return for a 30-day stay?
hey guys, I've been here on exchange and my single entry visa expires january 15th and I cannot extend it any longer, however I was planning on staying till january 31st, so is it possible for me to leave thailand in the first week of january (going to hong kong 4-7th jan) without re entry permit so my single entry visa expires when I get back, and I get the 30 days to stay here as tourist till the end of the month? thank you so much for helping me out

Yes it's possible. If you might want longer Hong Kong is also an easy place to get another visa. If you don't, a border bounce is probably quicker and cheaper than going to HK.
