TLDR : Answer Summary

An expat with a 6-month multiple entry visa questions their upcoming visa run from Phuket, seeking clarity on which borders are currently open, specifically regarding traveling to Laos or Myanmar. Commenters suggest that while land borders to Laos may have closing dates, the border in Ranong province to Myanmar remains a viable option for a visa run.

You can also go to immigration pay ฿1,900 to get a 30 day stamp...this will at least buy you time

, as

stated IF you haven't gotten a 30 day extension on your current 60 day stamp you could do that as well, at the immigration office in your area for 1900baht. That would buy you a month more to see how things are and if things settle down or not.

then where you need to go to bounce for a new 60 day entry stamp is at one of the borders with Myanmar in Ranong Province.

Google "border run Ranong Phuket" or "visa run Ranong Phuket" and you will get results
