Hi. I've arrived in Thailand on a single entry tourist visa.
I've just done my extension.
I plan to stay here till September.
What are my options, I'm guessing a trip to a neighbouring country and reapplying for the same visa is an option.
My visa is till 20th of June.

TLDR : Answer Summary
After obtaining an extension on your single entry tourist visa in Thailand, you can either make a trip to a neighboring country like Myanmar and reapply for the same visa, or utilize affordable flight options to nearby destinations. Another recommended option is to visit an embassy or consulate, such as the one in Vientiane, where obtaining a new tourist visa is often easier and does not require extensive documentation.
or you can you Fly-In/Out....many cheap airlines in Thailand with close destinations...plus as of now there are no restrictions on the amount of Fly In/Out in calender year
fly out then get a visa. You want to stay until september, have to leave 20-6 just flying in/out will only get you until about 19-8 with extension, whilst a visa will get you past that date if you extend.
Since you already got an extension you have to leave the country. Go to an embassy / consulate (Vientiane is recommended because there are no proofs required and the process is easy) and get another SETV that you can extend later. Then you're good until September.
There is a limit even at Vientiane, that at some point they will decide you have too many, but I have got two from Vientiane specifically back-to-back and I have five or six total from them in my passport, so you should be fine going just for a second. Neither Vientiane nor the Nong Khai border require the 20k, onward travel or accommodation.
