Hi,I come into Samui on a tourist visa,get the 90 day ext at maenam, but I would like to know how to go about getting the next 30days? So It will then give me 120days in thailand. South africa thai immigration says, you have to go over the border, AND FLY BACK IN. Cant come in via car etc. Otherwise they only give you 15days? Because we wanted to go to Rayong with a friend for a few days,and drive back, as we went in. Thx
TLDR : Answer Summary
A South African traveler on a tourist visa in Thailand is seeking advice on extending their stay from a 90-day to a total of 120 days. They mention needing to exit the country to get an additional 30 days and are confused about the process of leaving by land versus air. Comments clarify that border runs can work but may have restrictions depending on the entry point and visa type.
