TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is considering two options regarding their multi-entry visa in Thailand: either crossing into Myanmar to stamp out and back in for a short visit or paying 1900 baht for a one-month extension. Comments suggest that crossing into Myanmar might be cheaper, ranging from 500 baht for the crossing fee plus transportation costs, depending on proximity to the border.
