TLDR : Answer Summary

The post seeks recommendations for a third country to leave Thailand and return easily with a tourist visa. Various comments suggest Phnom Penh, Cambodia, as an ideal location for a quick border run, while others recommend Sri Lanka for its relatively easy entry requirements. There are also mentions of the Philippines due to its open border policy.

My girl and I are in the same situation, we must leave Thai before the 15, at the beginning we were opting for Philippines (will open border the 10) ,but after we discovered that Cambodia is it open!

Can Cambodia have a visa on arrival? Or did you apply for a Cambodian visa in Thailand in advance? What about the visa to return to Thailand? A tourist visa requires a certain period of time. I don't know how long a Cambodian visa can stay?

no...you need to do online a e-Visa for Cambodia, which normally takes few days and it last 1 month, I don't know if you can renew it any more! Once you are in Cambodia you have to ask for Thailand tourist visa and Thailand pass, which I don't know how long does it take to be accepted! So I plan to be in Cambodia at least 3 weeks

What will be the difference btw getting an e-visa online and getting a visa in person in the Cambodia embassy in BKK? Will the duration of stay being allowed differ?

If you do your Thai pass before hand. Sri Lanka is very easy to enter. Just need 1 antigen test before departure. It’s not the cheapest but unless you find other options. Sri Lanka air flights from Sri Lanka to bangkok are about $200 direct
