Don't do it yourself!!! It's just unnecessary stress. I went to Poipet with a new passport (60+30days stamp) and METV visa. Wanted to save a few baht. When I re-entered the country, the immigration lady interviewed me and rejected me. I had to go back to Cambodia and cancel the exit stamp and take the night bus to Phnom Peng. 2 people in a bed that is way too small... A very bad experience! I then flew back to Thailand and there were no problems in BKK. If I add up the costs, the fun cost me around 6000 baht and I could have ridden the Visarun twice. Take the service from Pattaya to Ban Pakkad. It takes 1 1/2 hours at the border and you'll be back in Pattaya at 3pm. There is free food on the way back and the whole thing costs 2900 baht including Cambodia visa. Search "Visa Run Pattaya" on Facebook. I think these are the cheapest. There are people from other agencies in the same van, but they paid more. Still 1 border run and 1 extension away from the retirement visa :)

I did the TR Visa Extension last month. IT Square Laksi sent me to Chaeng Wattana. No TM30 needed. The just ask the Hotel Name and Room Number.
