TLDR : Answer Summary

An individual is seeking advice regarding their upcoming expiration date on their tourist visa while waiting for their Educational (ED) visa. They mention their passport is stamped until July 6 and express concern over potential restrictions on border runs due to a prior tourist visa refusal. Comments from the community suggest options such as doing a 'border bounce' if they haven't exceeded entry limits, or seeking a temporary extension at an immigration office.

as long as you don't have TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land so far this year you can border-bounce and get a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp.

, they're taking you to the border, you're stamping out of thailand, stamping in&out of malaysia and then stamping right back into thailand. I call it a border-bounce because you're bouncing out and right back in.

IF you don't already have TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land this year, you're fine to do a border bounce.
