AVOID the Aranyaprathet - Poi Pet border (in Sa Kaeo) DO NOT try to bounce out and back in at that border.

You should be able to use Ban Laem with no issues.

well, depending on your nationality and where you are in the country (which

@Ja***

asked you in the first response but you didn't answer) you might be able to go to a border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in&out of another country and then stamp right back into thailand to get a visa exempt entry stamp.

If you want some suggestions how about stating your nationality and where in thailand you are, or bail on outta here to Vietnam ;)

Thanks Tod. I've done the extension, so looks like Vietnam for me. Very few job opportunities!

Okay, if you entered the country and were stamped in for 60 days on that single entry tourist visa it's over.

You can extend the 60 day stamp by 30 days at the immigration office for 1900baht
