There are several companies in pattaya that take you directly to Cambodia and back the same day. 5 star visa runs and first class visa runs. Google is your friend

What are the requirements for the 180-day extension of the DTV visa in Thailand?

John ********

The DTV hasn’t been around along enough for someone to enter and do a 90 day report.

So you don’t have the visa yet and were just asking questions?

Can I re-enter Thailand for the third time in September after multiple visits this year?

John ********

1) dress nice. Don’t look like a backpacker. Be well groomed and don’t wear a Bob Marley t-shirt. Make sure you have had a shower recently.

2) try to use a male immigration officer. My experience is they can be more lenient.

3) if questioned the main thing is to remain calm. Don’t get angry or show emotion

Do I need an onward ticket when traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Thailand with AirAsia or Batik Air?

John ********

that’s not the point boy. I have seen the gate staff call 5 or so people including myself to the counter before boarding and ask for a ticket out of Thailand or a long term visa.
