Fly from BKK or DMK to whichever country you want and then come back.

I went to Phu Cuoc island Vietnam from BKK round-trip flight was around 4400 baht. Visa exempt entry, stayed a couple nights to explore and came back. Hotels were super cheap too.

I recommend Meesuk Travel. They will meet you at 5am and you will be back in Bangkok by 4pm. They will take you to Cambodia. Super simple and easy. They take care of the paper work. You walk through 4 gates and it takes about 35 minutes and you drive back

When you make extension DTV you need to show immigration 500'000THB of your account for the last 3 months you stay in Thailand and make the documents for DTV visa again

Hopefully you haven't yet been in Thailand for 180 days.

What date does your entry STAMP in your passport say? THAT'S the last Day you are permitted to be in Thailand.

Anonymous participant suggest you fly ✈️ out of Thailand and reenter Thailand to get a New 180 day stamp. The border run bounce is not easy to do with ALL Cambodia border crossings CLOSED. It's now a Long time if you try to go to Laos with an experienced border run service company from Pattaya. Flying is REALLY what is BEST for you. BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport airport to nearby SE Asian nations is low costs and same day return is possible.

Totally agree! By land to Laos takes too long, would be uncomfortable and unlikely to save any money.
