Would you consider KL to be a « safe » place to do a tourist visa despite all of my stamps from my business visa with an agent?

My other option would be a border run to Hat Yai and back the same day on visa exempt. How easy is the border south Thailand to bounce from given my stamps? Im in phuket, expecting baby #1 in September. My business visa with agent expire early July. I need a tourist visa or visa exempt for now and then reevaluate. Will try to get non-o based on Thai child (multi entry) in Savannakhet when I have proper paperwork after baby is born. Thanks guys

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is considering applying for a tourist visa in Kuala Lumpur (KL) due to their upcoming expiration of a business visa obtained through an agent. They also contemplate a border run to Hat Yai for a visa-exempt entry. Concerns arise regarding the ease of completing a border run, considering their visa history. Additionally, the user plans to apply for a Non-O visa (multi-entry) based on having a Thai child in Savannakhet after the birth. Comments clarify that a multi-entry visa based on a Thai child is not available, and it is suggested that the user may need to be married to the child's mother to obtain such a visa.

not to be negative, but I hope you are on good terms with her, and get listed as the father on the birth certificate. Sometimes they don't do this, out of revenge.

You cant get a multi-entry in Savannakhet based on a Thai child, single entry only. Multi is only available for marriage.

Is it same as Marriage, so when you get single entry you need 400k baht to extend for a year?

@Maxim **********
It's either 400k or 500k for the 1 year extention of stay based on a Thai child.
