Is it okay to do a same-day border bounce to Laos for a DTV extension, or should I stay longer?

As the OP posted this same question minutes ago on the DTV forum, she's obviously not happy with the answer the OP wants to see and hear.

Again...for whatever reason, you failed to say where you are in Thailand and what your passport nation is.. we tried 🤗

Good Luck 🍀

I am closing comments.

Where are you living in Thailand that you want to do a BORDER BOUNCE to get a new DTV 180 Day stamp in your passport?

I did, but spent 2 days, just a few days off work. Entrance to laos and return to thailand was simple and easy, no hassle, no drama. Don't forget you need to do the tdac on the way back.

What Lao border do you think you're going to cross and come back the same day from because Nong Khai is NOT a user friendly border even if you have a valid visa

you MIGHT get out/back at Chiang Khlong, or Chiang Saen (in Chiang Rai province) OR Mukdahan/Savannakhet maybe even that new friendship bridge crossing in Bueng Kan province

I am doubtful you would get out/back at Nong Khai.. All you can do is try,

AND

if you have to stay out overnight or a number of days, they'll tell you when you stamp out of thailand
