ORIGINAL POSTER
Looking for advice please. I'm a Canadian passport holder. Been staying in Thailand sine July of this year. First 3 months on a TR visa, then did a border run to Singapore. Now as my entry stamp extension is coming to an end, I'm considering whether to do a land border run to Laos or getting a new TR visa in Laos or Cambodia and fly back in. Which option would minimize my chances of entry/visa refusal? Thanks!

DO NOT fly into Thailand.

Suggest you do Land BORDER BOUNCE into Laos and reenter using a commercial BORDER BOUNCE service company. Be sure to tell them your recent history of staying in Thailand and your passport nation.

Good Luck ๐Ÿคž

You do not have an entry history that would raise too many flags when you come back

You have to decide on your own if you want to go to a thai consulate and buy a tourist visa or whether you want to just bounce out and back by air/land to get another visa exempt entry.

You know your options, pick one..

The group can't tell you what to do.

I'd say get ahold of a service and bounce out and back by land to get a 45 day visa exempt entry stamp
