Tomorrow my visa exempt extension expires. I will try the border at Ban phu nam ron ( Kanchanaburi)  catching a bus from the new South bus station. Then another bus from the bus station at Kanchanaburi to the border. As I have seen on this page. I only have six days before my flight out from Thailand but rather than have an overstay stamp. I hope this will be my best choice. Any advice and tips will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Just go to the closest immigration, show ur flight ticket and u'll get 7 more days extension for 1900 thb. No need of a border run.

I did the border run. To Ban phu nam ron. It was so easy. I'm back home in Bangkok already. Thanks for the tips. Didn't ask for flight ticket or funds.

I believe you can extend again, but only for 7 days, at the same rate (1900 Baht)

Easy border run, once you are stamped out of Thailand, you walk 10 metres, there is a visa run agency on the left. Give them your passport, as they will need to make a copy, and 900 baht. Wait for the next pickup to take you down the dirt road and back. Took me no more than 1 hour from start to finish😄
