TLDR : Answer Summary
In response to a question about the best city for a one-day trip out of Thailand to obtain a 30-day visa stamp, several options were suggested by the community. Kuala Lumpur and Penang emerged as popular choices due to low flight costs and visa exemptions for many nationalities. Other recommended destinations included Siem Reap and Vientiane, with assorted comments about the experiences, costs, and travel logistics involved. The conversation also highlighted the potential risks and requirements, suggesting that travelers consider booking flights that allow for same-day returns to avoid complications with Thai immigration.

straight north of. Bangkok up to Laos . cross river into Laos.
you only border bounce into Myanmar and come back on the same day. You cannot stay in Myanmar . . check this agency, the do the "Border Run Tour" starting from Hua Hin
totally normal price, it includes the long trip (385 kilometers one way!), a lunch, the visa fee for Myanmar and the boat transfer to the Casino and back. It takes 10 hours. You could do a "border run" from Pattaya to Cambodia with an agent for around 3600.- THB, though. You could try it yourself but be warned you might get stranded in Cambodia
depending from where you fly. I heard it is not possible to fly to Siem Reap for one day, they make you stay at least 24 hours. Only flight to Kuala Lumpur will allow you to turn around and fly back on the same day. Where in Thailand are you staying?
ok, then you could fly to Vientiane or Kuala Lumpur for a border run. Malaysia is visa free but you need to fill out the online MDAC. Laos ist 40.- US Dollar visa-on-arrival fee
Depends where u are. kl you can do without leaving the airport. Just go through customs, walk to departures and fly back. Cambodia insist on 24 hours, Siem reap used to be nice. It you are north you can do border runs with buses. Vientiane is fun. Has a very cool sunset bar on the river. Flights there are super expensive.
I cycled from Nong Khai to Ventiane for my visa run. 😀

Kuala Lumpur and Singapore are the easiest. Why not spend 2 nights. Both are nice cities. Cambodia, Laos, (For Americans, Vietnam), Indonesia, all need visas.

Why not go for a few days and enjoy the city you fly too. It seems so short sighted to just norder bounce. Try Da Nang or Hanoi (both cheap) or KL or Singapore etc

Why waste the money and time. Just go pay for the extension it's cheaper and quicker.
That depends on what passport you hold as to keep costs down you'd want to enter without the need to purchase a Visa

Kuala Lumpur or Singapore have visa exemption for most nationalities. Saigon also for some. Or stay nearby: Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Vientiane.

Apart the usual idiots who never miss the chance to show they are idiots, I thank you for all the destinations you mentioned, I will take a look about flights. Actually from bkk the cheapest are Vietnam and Malaysia. If anyone did fly to George town let me know.
No, but it’s been recommended to be. I’ve seen return flights for 70€. Food and hotels are a bit more expensive than Thailand, but you get to experience a different culture and it’s on the beach. To me it sounds ideal.
what’s expensive the food wasn’t expensive at the Hocker stands just spend one hotel night get a place for 70 to 80 bucks. You could even find cheaper.

it totally depends on where in Thailand you are. You can fly from Hat Yai cheap to Kuala Lumpur, or from Bangkok to Siem Reap. Or from Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang
KL if by flight , by road come to Penang , plenty of visa runs . Google it for details,

I just took a bus/van from Pattaya to Cambodia, round trip 8 hours. For me to drive to an airport in bkk, wait for the plane, go somewhere, turn around, wait for plane, come back drive home, would take considerable longer.
thanks for that, I have heard similar prices so it sounds on par, cheers.

I've gone to Ho Chi Minh before.
Immigration there is slow though, so have enough time to make it through and make it back through checking in to fly back.

You can fly to Singapore early and just spend the day there - even the airport itself has gardens a luxury mall ((s) , cinema , showers , massage . No need to stay overnight . Singapore is expensive but lots to see in one day there if you choose to leave the airport
Kuala Lumpur. Many daily flights. Can take the late evening flight out and then the morning flight if you require overnight stay.
Also, once at KLIA2, easy to connect with subway train or bus to either KL Sentral, or Putrajaya [i think] which you can take buses to penang and go onwards back into Thailand.

Not worth it for one day, you may get questioned on return .
Yes With 2 Million Other Tourists You Will Spend The Majority of Your Time Waiting...The Problem Is Simple: The Over-Population Of The Globe Any Place Worth Seeing Is Over-Flowing With Internet Babies !
You Might Try A Smaller City In Laos Mike, Luang Probang Or Something Half That Size...Personally I Think Vietiene Is A Zoo But Really Love The Hotels, Food and People In ThSmaller Venues. Don't Judge Laos By What You Experienced In Vietiene. Just My Opinion.
