ORIGINAL POSTERI need to get another 30 days on my current visa in Bangkok.Can anyone please tell me the best way to do this.Go to the embassy or go across the border for the day?Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your visa by an additional 30 days in Bangkok, you have two main options: visiting an embassy or making a brief trip across the border. The expiration of your visa typically means it is valid until the end of the day before its stated expiry date.

Without knowing what kind of Visa you have I can not answer.

Then if you wanted another 30 days you will have to do a border run

ORIGINAL POSTERThanks Tony

And that is what you need for a extension at any immigration office

I whould go to the local immigration office.

ORIGINAL POSTERThanks Robert

ORIGINAL POSTERI am only here for another 30 days
Robert *******
No, but you can only do border run for Visa Exempt Entry twice a year. If you like to stay long in Thailand it is the best thing to avoid border runs.

ORIGINAL POSTERThanks Robert.Is it also an option to go to the Cambodian border or is that a more difficult choice?
Robert *******
30 day tourist visa does not exist, I think you mean a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry (entry without a Visa). You can apply for Extension of Stay once for 30 days at local Immigration office for 1.900 Thb.
