don't you dream and spread false info. Better trust the real experts in this group 😉

the Cambodia borders have never been closed since the clashes in Chong Bok. They just cut on their service hours

NEVER do that by yourself. Use a "Visarun Company". Only these guys gurantee a seamless border run on the same day. You seem to have little knowledge of what is going on at the borders at the moment regarding visa-exempt entries. Hundreds of people have been denied entry in the past months. It's exactly those people who had taken the 30 days extension, and are refused a second visa-exempt entry because they try to maxx out their stay in Thailand . . it is all over the FB groups. Beware!

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. You will then be able to show proof of the return flight to your home country, as proof of onmward 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

it takes as long as it takes. Sometimes you are asked to upload more documents, which can delay the process. Check their website, they published e-visa applications taking between 5 and 10 days. Keep in mind you will need to stay in Vietnam until the DTV gets approved or not. That's what many are complaining about - loosing time and money whilst having to stay abroad and wait

and keep in mind, politeness, sobriety, and a clean casual wear, wins symphaties of the border officials

you should be fine. You will probably be questioned, but since you won't maxx out the visa-exempt stay permit for its full extend of currently 60 days, staying only for 21 days before you fly to Malaysia, you should be regarded as a "real" tourist. However, for your own peace of mind, make sure you got two more proofs besides the onward travel ticket: 20,000 THB in Thai Baht or another main currency in CASH (no credit card!), and a proof of a few first nights of a booked accomodation in Thailand

you can also follow the route Tod Daniel proposed at first. Visit Immigration and apply for the "change of visa type" from the visa-exempt entry to a 90-days Non-Imm-O Marriage Visa. If you fulfill all requirements (financial- and marriage-proof wise) you will be issued the visa for 14 days under consideration. After this spell you pick up the stamp in their office. And as soon as there are 30 days left on the 90-days, apply for the 1-year Extension of Stay Permit based on being married to a Thai wife . . . .to find the requirements for the "change", click onto number 6 in this list. Visit Immigration Udon Thani for more info . . .
