To reply to that question we really need more information to give you an accurate answer.

1. Where are you living/staying now and what's the nearest border?

2. Do you need another/new visa or are you doing a 2nd or 3rd entry on a double or triple entry visa?

3. What type of visa do you have now and what do you want to get? (Whether you want a tourist visa, a double or triple entry visa, a non O visa, etc. all have different "best choices".

4. Are you married to a Thai, on a work permit, or taking a course (i.e. studying Thai)...because those things have another set of "best choices". In some cases it may be possible to extend your current visa in Thailand if you qualify without leaving the country.

That's why the information above is needed before we can give you our "best choice" advice.

And also...what's your nationality...because the rules are different for some nationalities.

And added this....my guess is that from Pattaya you would be closest to Cambodia for an overland. I'm sure there are visa services in Pattaya that do visa runs to Cambodia for that specific purpose.

Sounds like you need to do a border run not a visa run. If all you need to do is just leave Thailand and come back I recently went with Cambodia Inter(driver picked up people from Pattaya, Naklua,etc.). Paid 1800 baht left in the morning and was back in the afternoon. New, comfortable minibus and friendly driver. Would go with them again.

The first two sentences of website are:

Foreigners who come to Thailand normally will get a 30 days arrival visa in their passport. A 10 day extension can be done at immigration in Bangkok, but it will cost you 1,900 baht.

If you arrive by air most passports will get a visa exempt entry for 30 days (it is not a visa) and immigration does not offer 10 day extensions of stay for that or any other entry. If you arrive by land you will only receive a 15 day entry on the same passport.
