Hi all you helpful people. You've probably been asked this question a thousand times on this site . I've been to Thailand over the last six years on a multi-entry visa six months. So now with the 60 day and the 30 day extension I'm thinking 60/30 days leave Thailand a few days to Singapore arrive back in Thailand this is the question I'm assuming you get another 60 days and extend for another 30 days so all together 6 months and then return to the UK

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original question discusses whether it's possible to leave Thailand briefly for Singapore after a 60-day visa, return, and then extend for an additional 30 days, effectively allowing for six months stay in total before returning to the UK. Community responses confirm that this plan is valid but advise travelers to stay updated on any changes to visa rules. Alternate suggestions for neighboring travel destinations like Cambodia and Vietnam are provided, citing their affordability and easier visa processes.

By the way..

Singapore is probably the most expensive destination you could choose for a short flight out of Thailand .

Do some research on Phnom Penh Cambodia as that's often a short cheap flight from Bangkok..

You will need a visa to enter Cambodia but visa on arrival is available for most passport countries or you can apply online say a week or so before you travel and save the hassle of lining up at the visa on arrival immigration desk..

Phnom Penh has quite a good nightlife and bar scene and it's relatively cheap for a short stay..

Vietnam could also be an option but depending on your passport country you may require a visa before you enter Vietnam (British passport holders for example don't require a visa for Vietnam and get 45 days entry on arrival) but many other countries require a visa prior to entering...

HCMC probably the best choice for a short visit and stay in District 1 near Bui Vien walking street for some nightlife and plenty of hotel options.

it's equally cheap to fly to Kuala Lumpur from DMK, and no VOA needed for Malaysia, but it's 35-40 USD for Cambodia

I am simply pointing something out gained from experience that others may find helpful..

Many people travel to SE Asian destinations because they are more affordable and better value for your money ..

But Singapore certainly doesn't fit into that category..

If you can afford to go and pay whatever it costs then by all means enjoy your trip...

But I expect many people on these forums like to know about the more affordable options

@Andy ******

Very expensive hotels and food etc...

And very limited and expensive nightlife as well..

I would choose almost any other neighboring country before Singapore..

Cambodia, Loas, Vietnam or even Malaysia

I don't have anything against Singapore itself except it's very extensive in comparison to other Asian countries and it's probably the most "un-Asian experience in SE Asia..

If that's what appeals to you then that's fine and enjoy..

I am just pointing out my personal observation from many year's of traveling all over SE Asia
