That’s why if you live close to a border or an airport it is a great excuse to just leave Thailand and come back a few days later, Personally I can not be bothered with all the red tape and documentation required for the extension 👍
I do exactly that every 90 day’s visit a different country spend a few nights there and come back into Thailand it breaks up the stay in my village and is something to look forward to just like a mini break every 3 months
It does seem unfair that a person can overstay on a T/R visa then reapply for another T/R visa in a country outside of Thailand and have no issues but there is a huge penalty for Non O visa’s
I t tried to enter Thailand Suvarnabhumi Airport with a 2nd T/R visa and got pulled aside and questioned by a supervisor why I am not applying for a long term visa
After some grovelling and pleading I was allowed entry
