all Myanmar borders are closed for foreigners (except Ranong/Kawthoung) You can't do the border run there. You need to use one of the nearest borders to Laos. Buy a Lao visa on arrival. They will ask you to stay 2 nights in Laos, which you can avoid by doing the trip with a "Visarun Company" starting out of Chiang Mai. Google "visa run chiang mai", there are many of these companies

Bad advice! The Myanmar borders are closed for foreigners (except Ranong in the south), you can't do the border run there. You need to use one of the nearest borders to Laos. Buy a Lao visa on arrival. They will ask you to stay 2 nights in Laos, which you can avoid by doing the trip with a "Visarun Company" starting out of Chiang Mai.

if your plan consists of stay for 4 months, and to achieve this by two visa-exempt entries, you better DON'T take a 30 days extension on top of your first visa-exempt entry. Avoid to maxx out your first visa-exempt stay. . . . . . . Rather exit before the 60 days stay permit expires, stay in a neighbour country for a week, and come back on a second visa exempt. The OP will then be able to show proof of the return flight to his home country, as proof of onward travel, which can be asked by an airline and the Thai Immigration border official. The success is guaranteed. This itinerary is that of a "real" tourist and not of somebody who tries to live in Thailand on touristic entries and their extensions

@Andrew *******

exactly, and your advice confirms what I advised the OP to do: don't maximize the first 60 days stay - meaning, do NOT get the 30 days extension! Do a border run before the 60 days stay permit expires, remain outside of Thailand for a few days or even a week, and upon return make sure you got the 3 proofs. You will be stamped in for another 60 days stay , this is almost guaranteed

@Aditya *******

the departure date is not mandatory to fill out in the TDAC. And it doesn't matter anyways, each visa-exempt entry will get you stamped in for 60 days, no matter what your onward travel proofs say

Tod and me are sometimes exchanging PM's. Just so you know who you are confronting. You don't know shit from shave🙂. I dislike boasting with these facts. I am a humble guy living the life down on a stable ground. I hate being molested by ignorant bloats like you

Myself I am on an EOS based on retirement since 18 years. You talk about repeated visa-exempt entries. You are DREAMING . . Immigration is cracking down on those. Go get your proper visa and leave smart people alone. And stop posting BS
