Border run to either Ranong/Myanmar or Vientiane friendship bridge

[webber4]

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!

Have you considered Malaysia.

Here is thread (not recent) has links.

 

Regards  Vientiane seems just started requiring one night stay.

As usual some Baht perhaps can avoid that requirement.

Air ticket to Hong Kong has the same price. Also they will not stamp your passport.

Geez ..excuse my ignorance.

From AI google...

"No, Israeli citizens are generally not allowed to enter Malaysia. To enter Malaysia, Israeli citizens need an embassy visa" 

You summed it up "stuffed up world"

Border hop to Laos via Nong Khai friendship bridge. Take a small break in Vientiane, much nicer place and people than Thailand. Return via bridge 60 day exempt stamp. Job done very simple

Care to outline travel options from Koh Phangan to Vientiane.
