TLDR : Answer Summary

When planning a 180-day in/out visa strategy from Bangkok, consider flight options to nearby cities like Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City. The choice of destination can depend on factors such as visa exemptions based on your nationality, travel connections, and personal interests in visiting nearby locations. Additional travel methods, including bus, train, and border crossings with neighboring countries, may also serve as viable alternatives for your visa run.

Depends where you are but your options are not just flying you can leave and return at any border crossing, plane bus train boat walk again look at where you are located at the time and how long you want to stay out for. I would just go out and come back to get the stamp but if you really want to visit somewhere plan its your choice to make

Depends on your passport. For example as a Brit I get 45 days visa exempt to Vietnam. Bangkok to Danang flight for a few days there and Hoi An would be my personal choice. However, if visas required then others choices are available.

- Not sure why you published vomit emojis. Peter was just saying that where you travel is dependent on you. Visa requirements vary depending on your nationality, but reality is, where do you want to go? If you have to fly somewhere, make it into a short/long holiday. For me, one of the few countries I have not been to in Southeast Asia is Malaysia, so if I had to exit, it would be there

The new train to Penang from Bangkok certainly looks appealing. Penang been on my list for 25 years and never got there for some strange reason.

@Omar *********

so if the most common flights are to a country where you need a visa to enter and the second best would be somewhere where you can enter visa free... would you still choose the first one, because it was the most common? 🤔
