What is the best destination for a visa run from Thailand: Da Nang, Singapore, or Manila/Cebu?

Simon ********

Danang for many reasons, but for visa run airport is low stress and a cheap fast grab ride from everything. Easy to get high quality accomodation for peanuts, lots of food options. Singapore is ok if you have money to burn. Cebu and Manila are both pretty awful especially Cebu.
