TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses various recommendations for border run services from Bangkok to Cambodia. It suggests considering different modes of transportation, such as flying for a more comfortable experience, and mentions specific departure points like the On Nut Lotus Store for bus services. Alternatives like a train journey to the Malaysia border are also mentioned as a budget-friendly option.

I think the cheapest and easiest way for visa run is kota bharu Malaysia, you just need to sit on train from suratthani for 10 hours , go to the border and next day comeback, easy peasy

Thai visa service. But if you don't have a long history in Thailand, I'd recommend flying. Much more enjoyable than 8+hrs in a van.

You spend all day in a van filled with sketchy people, and usually you risk your life in the process since the the dude that drives the van is usually pushing the van to the limit. Pedal to the metal and shit without any seatbelts while talking on the phone at the same time.

American citizen here.

-1st entry 28 day permission to stay.

-extended stay for another 30 days through immigration.

-need to extend it for another month.

You think flying in and out will get me another 30 days? Just don't want to be denied at the airport to entry.

I heard visa border runs ( ground) you can do it twice in 1 year.

you've spent about 60days in the country. You shouldn't have issues flying in.

People with issues normally spend 6+ months living here on visa exemptions doing multiple border runs.

No limit on flying in visa exempt, limit of 2 visa exempt entries per calendar year at land border crossings.
