What are the best border options for extending my stay in Thailand as a farang?
Hi there, I'm the classic farang story of, "Been here for 8 months and want to stay another 2". That said. I have one more border bounce I can use. I am in Koh Phangan in which the Malay borders are used. Do you have a border to recommend for safe entry? Would love to get some feedback.
Thanks!

Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on which border to cross for a safe re-entry into Thailand as they are nearing the end of their stay. They currently reside in Koh Phangan and have one more border bounce available. Comments suggest using the Ranong border for convenience and caution regarding previous tourist visas. Another suggestion is accessing a 6-month METV from the Thai consulate in Perth for a more extended stay.

Just go to Perth Australia to the Thai consulate and get a 6 month METV which you can get 9 months out of it....all you have to do is meet the requirements for the visa....

Ranong is closer if you get ferry to chumporn. You need check how many tourist visas you have in your passport, too many and maybe refused entry.
