ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm on a tourist visa, just did a 1 month extension, (60 days + 30). It's valid till 2 december. I would like to stay in Bangkok a few more weeks before returning to Europe for Christmas. Do you recommend doing a visa run and getting a stamp at Myanmar border?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently on a tourist visa with a one-month extension, valid until December 2nd, and is considering a visa run to the Myanmar border to extend their stay in Thailand. Commenters suggest that whether this is feasible depends on the user's nationality and previous visa entries. A successful visa run could potentially grant a new 30-day visa exemption.

Good Luck bouncing out and back in at the Phu Nam Ron border crossing with Burma.

Depending on your nationality (and on whether you've gotten two 30 day visa exempt entries by land this year) that would be an option to get you a new 30 day visa exempt entry stamp..
