You don't need to cross a border. Just get another 1 year extension at your immigration office...
Cost 1,900 THB !!! Doing this for 6 years already !!!

the deal is having 800,000 baht in a Thai bank, or an Embassy certified monthly income of 65,000 baht. then applying for a yearly extension of stay, in the last 30 days of a 90 day non immigrant visa entry.

I drove to Phu Nam Ron yesterday for renewal of my Non O ME based on Marriage. (90 days extension).

Left BKK at 05:30am and back at 15:00pm.

Everything was as described in the thread/s here. Only 3 other people there and 960 THB.

A pleasant trip really.

 

Thanks all.

Went to Phu Nam Ron a few months ago. Have Non O, multiple entry, (Marriage), and went for 90 days stamp.

Told when checking out, that I could not come there again. Next time I should leave from an airport.

Anyone else got this message?

Else it was easy and fast. I was the only customer so did not wait. A pickup took me across the border and back. 900 or 960 baht.
Tried Ban Laem earlier in 2017, they charged 1,900 baht for cambodian visa.

 

Update:

I took the chance and went there again.

No problem, nothing asked at all.

In between had a 2 month extension from immigration office.

Sounds like whoever was pushing that lie went back to working at the Poipet crossing, where that made-up non-rule was first reported being told - or maybe one of the unfriendly airport checkpoints.

 

Glad to hear they are being civil, again.
