TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the cost-effectiveness of performing a border run for an additional 60 days versus obtaining a 30-day tourist extension in Thailand. One comment states that the extension costs 1,900 baht, prompting users to calculate the overall expense of a border run, including potential visa fees for the other country. Another comment highlights that a 30-day extension eliminates the need for transportation costs associated with travel to the border.

30 day extension, no need for hired taxi to & from the border

An extension is 1900 baht.

You can do the math on if a trip out and back will cost you more than that. Don't forget to include the cost of a visa for the other country if your nationality requires one.
