Thanks, good advice!

Sorry to hear that, I suspect that before the 60 days exemption change, tourists had to go to the thai embassy and to get a proper visa and had to spend 2-3 days in laos and 'support' financially the tourism in Vientiane, and since now with the new 60 days rule it's not needed anymore - they implemented this new 2-3 days before enter back rule.

You were not able to come back to Thailand the same day? they asked you to stay 2-3 days in Vientiane?

Thank you all for the valuable info! To sum up if I understand correctly -vientianie border run possible but will need to spend at least 1 day in vietniane. Correct? -is it the same with Ranong/Myanmar? Or possible in and out same day? -cheapest air option is Hong Kong?

Hi, I have an Israeli passport (located at Koh Phangan), i got into Thailand 2 months ago with Exemption 60 days stamp, just got yesterday 30 days extension at the immigration, so in 1 month I'll have to leave Thailand. 1. Would I be able to get 60 more days with a land border run? or is it only possible by entering via air? 2. Between the 2 options (Myanmar and Vientiane) which one would be better/safer? Thank you!

Hello, Could somebody please send me a google maps location of the bus station in Surat Thani I need to go to get a bus/minibus to Ranong? (I think there are 2 or 3 different bus stations or terminals) Also, does anyone know when is the first bus in the morning? I read there is a bus/minibus leaving every hour. Thank you!

Thank you! I'll let them know, I guess there is no way to be 100% sure as it depends entirely on the immigration office.

Hi, Thanks for the answer. They have been before a few times in Thailand but for short periods of time. This year, they've been 2 months plus another for extension. They used a single tourist visa. So they are not the typical in an out tourists with lots of stamps.

Hello, My friend and his partner (Israeli and American passport) about to finish their tourist visa+extension and thought about flying from Samui to Vientiane (Staying in Vientiane for a couple of days and coming back) and back - will they encounter any problems getting a 30 days stamp at the airport immigration on the way back? or is it usually as easy as doing a land border run? and is it possible to get after 30 days extension at the immigration? Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you! I know Kiwi Orchid, there is a strong woman there that helps which is nice. do you know if after 30 days you can extend for another 30 days in immigration?

Hello, A friend of mine who has an Israeli passport thinks about going to Ranong for a land border run to get 30 days additional stay in Thailand: 1) Is it possible these days to do this border run (I know in Myanmar things can be unstable some times) 2) After 30 days pass, can he go to the immigration in Samui and get an additional 30 days extension? Thank you!

thank you, by the time he leaves samui to singapore he would use his one entry tourist visa (2 months) plus 30 days extension in the immigration. before that he was in europe for a long time. would that be okay at the border? or will they give him problems? thanks

Hello, A friend of mine (Israeli passport) stays in Koh Samui and thought about doing a 'border run' by plane to Singapore, staying there for a few days and then coming back. will he get visa exempt at the airport for 30 days? possible after to extend with another 30 days at immigration? any specific items needed to enter Singapore? Thank you!

okay, thank you for your reply, I'll talk to my house owner to arrange a new one. it was the thai embassy in Vientiane, actually.
