Need some advice please.
I stayed in Thailand for just over 6 months from the end January to the start of August last year with a couple of COVID extensions. I arrived back in Thailand this year in January on a 60 day tourist visa and I've already extended it once.
I want to spend another 3 months in Thailand after my tourist visa expires. I'm thinking of spending a week in Kuala Lumpur to get another 60 day tourist visa I can extend. However, I think I might get denied entry for spending too much time on a tourist visa in Thailand when I return.
My other option is to do a border run and enter on a visa exempt but that will only get me two months now that the 45 day visa exempt going away. I think this is less risky though.
When I entered Thailand last time I was only asked a few questions and let in pretty easy. They mentioned I stayed in Thailand a little long last time but I said I've come to see my girlfriend, which is true, and they just said okay.
What do you guys recommend I do?
