TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires whether they can obtain a 45-day visa overland before the end of March, considering they have already had a 45-day and a 30-day extension during their current visit to Thailand. Responses indicate that yes, it is possible to get the 45-day visa overland, but caution is advised against using the Poipet border due to reports of difficulties and potential entry refusals.

Not Poipet. Even with one overland crossing and no flights in, they still can, and maybe will, refuse you entry.

Do like James says and avoid Poipet. I read a report that they gave someone a 30 day stamp. They're well known as the worst land border.

2 land crossings per year, and at the moment they are 45 days by land or air if entering visa exempt
