TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the requirements for conducting a visa run to Kuala Lumpur for a new 30-day tourist visa, specifically whether an overnight stay is necessary and the associated costs. A comment suggests considering a visa extension for 1900 baht instead.

Why not just get a 30-day extension for 1900 baht?

Or book a $3/night hostel, have them check you in/report you, and act like you just arrived in Phuket. lol

actually, in Pattaya I needed all that paperwork for a 30-day extension. It was because I was in an Airbnb and the Airbnb never reported me to immigration when I arrived. Also, there was a fine because I hadn’t been reported. I just went to Bangkok and did it there instead and didn’t need the paperwork or to pay the fine. I guess you can also go into immigration and just act like you’ve been staying in a hotel.

Yer bro,looked into this as I live in Thailand but my landlord is being an uncontactble man at this point to sign off on the paper work needed to get the 30 day extension...also looked into a visa shuttle bus run but they where going to charge me 2000 bht for the trip to satun and another 1000 baht for some reason to stamp back in.

Is it cheaper to do a border run for another 60 days or a 30-day tourist visa extension in Thailand?
