ORIGINAL POSTER

Please share recent experience with "border bounce"

Friend of mine needs to do one.  She's got one 30 day stamp which has already been extended.  I want to know which is the best land border to send her to (any Malaysia/Loas crossings).

UPDATE: Also considering Myanmar.

FYI she'll be going to penang for a proper visa next month but she doesn't have all the required papers yet.

Thanks!
