What are the best options for getting a visa after transitioning from a marriage visa to a tourist visa in Thailand?
Background- Went from marriage visa (divorced) to ED visa, and now on tourist visa.
I did 2 border runs (Ban Pakkad). and they told me I couldn't do another border run, need to fly out.
Any good suggestions as to where would be the best, easiest to get visa, quick ,etc.
My visa is up Aug 18th.

Easiest as in the way of the less requirements is to visit the Thai Consulate in Vientiane Laos.

OPOk. That's good info.

If you buy a new Tourist Visa at the Thai Consulate in Vientiane you can go by land. The limit of two entries into Thailand by land border is only when using the Visa Exempt Entry (entry without visa).

Yes, this are the requirements in Yangon:

OPI've done Vientiane as a border run.
Are you talking about that, or flying in?
I have to do a flight, can't do a border run
