Yeah, makes sense. I'll either try onwardticket.com or just buy a cheap ticket knowing it's a throwaway. Seeing ticket prices, all expenses considered, it looks like it's the best way to go.

Interesting service! I will want to fly in Thailand, so I will check which airline would allow me to change a ticket that originally was to out of the country.

Any recommendations for a close destination I can get a cheap flight ticket to? I think I will try to cancel it and get the visa extension while I'm in the country. Unfortunately, the next appointment at the Thai embassy here is not until December, after I return.

I see, the plot thickens. I'm starting to regret planning this 30+ days trip. I guess I'll get a visa in advance, I don't have any flexibility in my return ticket. And I'm not sure I want to play with temporary tickets.

More great information, thanks @Ohyesuare

Option 4 sounds great @Jaggg88, thanks for mentioning it! Definitely the way to go. Now I'll have an actual purpose to go to Esan. - David

Thanks a lot for the info @DrJack54! It sounds pretty straightforward. Is TM30 also relevant when staying with a friend?

@OhyesuareThat's actually another question I had. The stamps are in my Israeli passport, but I have a US one as well. I was wondering if I'm not better off presenting my US passport on my upcoming visit. Do they know you have already visited this year because it's online (so it doesn't matter which passport I use) or because they see the stamps in my passport?

@CartagenaWarlockWhat is TV?

Hey all, I spent 14 days in the kingdom this year. I'm returning for 33 more days this year. When I re-enter, will I (hopefully) get a new stamp, which I'll have to extend before I leave the country? Or will I get 16 days, which I have to renew to stay the 33 days? Thanks for your help! - David
