TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around recommendations for border runs for Turkish passport holders needing visa extensions while in Thailand. Comments suggest considering countries like Laos and Cambodia, depending on the individual's current location in Thailand and visa type. Recommendations include specific places for visa processing and tips for a smoother border run experience.

Ban laem. Dead quiet. Takes about 15 minutes. Just use the runner. 1600b and all done in good humor

Ok..if you need a visa, then you must go to the consulate or Embassy that issues them. E.g Laos, Vientiane or Savannakhet. Or Cambodia or Penang or even Singapore.

Otherwise just pick a border, stay in the other place overnight and come back

Don't forget it isn't a race, you can take your time ymto visit the other country

Where are you in Thailand? What type of visa? ..or is it just 60 day visa free entry?

Burak Kurt I've not done a DTV. If you already have the visa you are allowed multiple entries....maxumum stau of 180 days? So that would require just keavu g and returning to re-activate your visa. As I understand it, if you hold a DTV, you can leave and re-enter Thailand as many times as you want without having to apply for a re-entry permit.

I would have picked Cambodia. Laos can be unfriendly towards visitors
