Can Indian passport holders do a visa run or border run to Thailand?

Indian passport holders face restrictions when attempting to do a visa run. They can purchase a 15-day Visa on Arrival (VoA) for 2000 baht upon entry, but this cannot be extended. It is generally agreed that Indian nationals cannot perform a true 'visa run' like some other nationalities. If they wish to renew their stay, they typically must return to India first. There are options to travel to nearby countries like Laos or Cambodia for a period of stay, but returning directly to Thailand immediately afterwards can be problematic. Immigration officials may require proof of onward travel, accommodation, and financial means, and repeated short-term entries could lead to complications.
