Thanks in advance for your advice everyone!
So I’m not looking to stay in Thailand long term, at least not yet - I’m just figuring out my extension option so I can stay until my lease ends Jan 14 and complete 3 months here.
My current 60 day visa on arrival ends Dec 6. I could do the 30 day extension for 1,900 baht until Jan 6 but that leaves me with 8 days and I’d like to have a bit more flexibility to stay until the end of my lease.
So it seems I’m left with either the border run to Laos option which appears to cost roughly 6,300 - OR I could also fly roundtrip to visit friends in Malaysia for 5,500. But that also assumes that doing the border run or flight to Malaysia would actually give me a new 60 days and not just 30 which isn’t enough.
Is there another simple option here?
Will I definitely 100% get another 60 days and not 30 days by going to Malaysia or Laos?
