Do I need to take an online driving test to renew my Thai driver's license from 2 to 5 years?

Carsten ************

You need to mention, what DLT you are supposed to go. Each DLT, Immigration, Bank branch and SomTum-Shop has it's own rules.

What are my options for renewing my Tourist Visa in Thailand as a Namibian citizen?

Carsten ************

You may try the Thai Embassy in Savannaket for a new TR visa, if you had only one TR plus extension yet. Make sure, you meet all requirements and probably it would be better to stay in Laos for a couple of days before going to the Embassy.

Do you need to buy a package or can you just get an empty SIM card at the AIS shop in the airport?

Carsten ************

The SIM always comes with a small load. You can choose/ change the package as you want at any phone shop or Tops market. 7/eleven and AIS got divorced many years ago.

What are the best and cost-effective options for a visa run from Bangkok?

Carsten ************

@Guillaume ***************

yes, but check the Embassy Website for holidays and opening hours. They open only for 1-2 hours in the morning to drop your docs.

Check the requirements. Proof of flight in and out of Thailand, proof of funds and accommodation.

What are the best and cost-effective options for a visa run from Bangkok?

Carsten ************

1. With the night bus to Nong Khai/ Vientiane for a TR. You will need to book an appointment.

2. VietAir to Phnom Penh for a TR. No appointment necessary, but 3 working days processing time.

Both you may extend another 30 days.

Both cities are worth to visit. Another option is a border bounce. Not all people using these vans return alive.
