What are the best options for quick flights out of Thailand for visa purposes?

Thailand used to be an expats dream. Unfortunately it seems that in an effort to sell retirement and long term visas has taken over their peanut sized brains and as usual they have no conception of what is really good for their country and how to manage it. They want our money of course, then why do they make it such a hassle to take it? The current Monarch, one of the richest men in the world, BTW, lives most of the time out of country. Let's his own population fend for themselves basically and live in relative poverty. Prostitution is technically illegal but not enforced. Let the farang support the villagers but then make it complicated for them to stay, even if they have the financial means. I mean, what other country can you be posted for making a negative review online about a business? There are just too many alternatives for successful people to retire or visit. The kingdom used to be nirvana. Now, not so much. Ruler too busy with all his mia noi and having them lay at his feet. Just my opinion... No hate, enjoy the kingdom... I just like to visit and go home

Hanoi is a great city. Go there

Like every politician that tie politicians are as stupid people want to spend their money in Thailand and then they can’t so you know what looks like Ho Chi Minh City might be a fun place to go and stay

it’s really a cheap charlie or backpacker thing. people drive for 6 hrs to get to a border when you could fly to some nice places in an hour. cheap charlie.

Well, you know a foreign city that’s close to Thailand? Well try that

Fly to Saigon

I’ve flew to Kampot, Hanoi, Singapore, phnom Phen and vientaine, all cheap trips apart from Singapore

Looks like it will be visa holders only soon. Now where will I go

My daughter did a day trip to Hong Kong for £60 uk passport.

I want to stay in for 60 days then fly on to another country I have bought one way ticket will I encounter any issues because I haven’t booked flights to whatever country I am flying to a group of us are meeting up then deciding where to go from Thai hence one way ticket

Siem Reap

A flight to Guangzhou China with China South Eastern airlines between baht return depending what time of year you go ,plus loads to see and do

If you’re over 50 just get a retirement visa, so much easier.

All borders aren't closed, but taking a weekend trip to Kuala Lumpur, Phnom Penh or Da Nang was always a better option. Tickets are cheap and you get to travel instead of sitting in a van for a full day.

Ranong Myanmar border run boat cost 100bht.

Boarder runs are a manipulation of the system on tourist visas they been cracking down on cause of abuse and tourist that cause problems entitlements and even mules.

Look for the cheapest probe Vietnam or Malaysia

Fly to Da Nang for a couple of weeks. So cheap to stay. Make sure you do your online visa about a week before you fly. Print a copy before you fly because you will need it to get your boarding pass. Have fun

Not sure what you mean by “lost art.” You can do border runs as well as short trips to neighboring countries. What’s happening more frequently now is that Thai immigration is tightening up on whether they will allow you back in if your passport is full of back to back Thailand 60 day visa exemption and 30 day extension stamps.

Fly to Vietnam. Inexpensive packages of airfare and hotel, and it's a nice place to visit.

Momentary spiff, I wouldn't lose my mind. If you had plans on a walking border run, just fly. No biggy.

KL Malaysia offers Visa exempt stamps for some passports

You could also fly to southern Thailand and do a border crossing into Malaysia at Satun or Songhkla

Singapore offers visa exempt stamps stamps for certain passports

Vietnam offers visa exemption stamps for certain passports

You could fly to HK, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines basically anywhere where it’s within your budget range and timeline

2 land borders closed out of dozens doesn't make much of a difference
