I found Vietnam very convenient

There are many cheap flights from Bkk to Vietnam : Hanoi , HCM , da nang … specially Phu Quoc Island where u have visa exemption for many countries. Otherwise you may need evisa ( it takes 5-7 working to apply ) and living costs are quite similar to Thailand

This time I am going to Japan but last time was laos. Laos was not bad and rather enjoyed it. Wish I would've made it a 3 or 4 day trip.

I've done Bali and back. 3 nights. However, I would not suggest going if you're trying to save money. I spent around 63,000 baht.

I should also add, make sure you fill out the Digital arrival card online before you try to re-enter Thailand. It's free.

I took a super cheap flight (3600) to Phu Quoc Vietnam from BKK because they have a visa exemption there for many countries, hotels at low cost, and Vietnamese food. Stayed for a couple nights to explore and came back. I spent around 7000 baht for everything 3 days/2 nights hotel, flights, food, etc
