Nearing my 6 months. Wanting to stay longer. Any reliable and cheaper visa/border run agency services from Pattaya?
Answer summary
The user is nearing the end of a 6-month stay in Thailand and is seeking reliable and affordable visa or border run agency services from Pattaya to extend their stay. Commenters suggest that instead of a lengthy border run, the user should consider flying to a nearby country like Kuala Lumpur or Vietnam for a mini-vacation, which can help reset their visa status. Additionally, there are mentions of getting an ED visa or checking for DTV visa options.

The best part of being in Thailand is the ability to travel and explore neighboring countries.

Just book a flight.

For like 5K or less baht you can fly to Vietnam, spend a few days and fly back. Or get an ED visa for like 25K in Pattaya.

Wouldn’t fancy a border run from Pattaya to Lao becasue that’s the only place you can go by road

FirstNameLastName it’s totally nuts. It’s like 24 hours of driving, you stop for a few hours to get the visa and come back. Lol nightmare. It’s also like ฿7000 or something if you have a dtv. Better to fly

Instead of sitting in a van all day, take a flight to a nearby country and have yourself a mini-vacation. Kuala Lumpur is a good option.
