Is it possible to come into the country for 60 days and then go across the border for a week and then come back into Thailand for another 60 days on holiday visa? Thanks in advance. I'm from the UK.
Answer summary
Yes, it is generally possible for UK citizens to enter Thailand for 60 days on a visa-exempt basis, leave for a week, and then return for another 60 days. However, entry is subject to the discretion of immigration officers, and it's advisable to check with your airline regarding their policies on return tickets, as some may require proof of onward travel.

You may have a hangup with your air carrier. Some want to see a ticket out of Thailand within the number of days allowed by your entry scheme.

With no visa that would be 60 days regardless that you could get an extension.

Some insist others don’t seem to care. Ask yours for their policy or be prepared to buy a ticket out upon check in to be able to board your flight.

cheapest way is to buy a bus ticket online to go from Thailand to either Cambodia or Laos

Entirely possible if you’re from a country that allows visa exempt entry. Your profile suggests you are.

No one can confirm if it’s going to be without hassle as entry is up to an individual immigration officer. If they’re having a bad hair day then you might get questioned or at an extreme denied. The latter probably won’t be the case but it has happened.
