TLDR : Answer Summary

After a border run from Thailand, if you are entering on a visa-exempt status, you will typically receive a stamp for 30 days, and you can apply for one extension of 30 days after that.

well . . .

@Paul *******

in case you came with the "multi entry 6-months Tourist Visa", then your first "border run" will activate the next 60 days stay permit. However you did not tell us which category tourist visa you entered with

If you're from a visa exempt country, you'll receive 30 days and can get one 30 day extension.

if you don't buy another tourist visa at a Thai embassy/Consulate in another country then you will get a 30 day entry stamp that you can extend for 30 more days when you exit Thailand and return, exactly like Brandon explained.

Slightly rude to reply that curtly to somebody who is trying to help, even if they misunderstood what you were trying to say.

To make sure everyone understands, we need you to clarify what you mean by "border run".

Standard terms are "border bounce" and "visa run". "Border bounce" means leaving the country and going straight back in, and "visa run" means crossing the border and going to a consulate or embassy in another country to apply for a new visa.

This is how I understand your situation. You used up your 60 day tourist visa and extended it by 30 days in country. Now you want to know how many days you will get if you cross the border and go straight back in - "border bounce".

The answer is you will get a 30 day permission to stay based on a "visa exempt stamp" IF your nationality qualifies for it.

Other conditions apply if you are not from a country that qualifies for a 30 day visa exempt stamp.

gave you a 100% correct reply! You will be able to extend the visa-exempt 30 days on Immigration for 1900.- THB for 30 more days. You will need your passport, two passport pictures, TM7 form filled out, and MAYBE immigration will ask you for a completed TM30 residence registration. . . . . . . . . . . . If you happen to be as rude to the Immigration officers, as you were towards

@Brandon ***********

, they will take your 1900.- THB and give you a "kickout-of-country" 7 days "to leave the kingdom!" 😄😄

That is for a border run, as Brandon said, if you're from a visa exempt country you'll be stamped in for 30 days.
