TLDR : Answer Summary
The duration of entry stamps when re-entering Thailand can vary based on several factors, including the traveler's nationality and the type of visa exemption applicable at the time. Previously, travelers entering via land might receive a different duration (like 14 days) compared to those entering by air (30 days). Recent discussions indicate that travelers from certain countries may still get 30 days on arrival by air but have faced limits upon re-entry by land or as part of policy changes effective until March 31 of the relevant year.

There is a much better and cheaper way to do it.

Go to
***************************


and apply for a 60 day touristvisa

It is cheaper than 30 day visaexcempt + 30 day extension,

You don’t need a onward ticket in the 30 day visa excempt,

Then you don’t have to use holiday time to travel to a immigration office, waitingtime, but can apply from the comfort of your home.

Not sure where your citizenship is, but not all countries get a visa exempt. If you need visa on arrival you probably were lucky to get the 30 days, it was a special to promote travel, valid until 31st march, after that dat it went back to the usual 15 days.

Maybe a dozen years ago, I entered Thailand visa exemption from US. 30 day stamp. While in Chiang Rai, we crossed into Myanmar for a flea market. Burmese IO’s held my passport at the desk. Stepped back into Thailand and got stamped 14 days, which superseded the 17 days that remained on my original entry.

so I get 30 days from start at airport then if I go Cambodia I get another 30 days coming back in by land, then if I decide to go KL will I get another 30 days re entering Thailand? (Sorry to be a pain)

@Debbie ******
you fly in get 30 days exempt. Go to immigration extend 30 days = 60. Then go Cambodia come back get 30 days plus can extend again. Can then fly KL if you want come back another 30 days plus extension
