ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone,

I am an Indian citizen holding an Indian Passport. I was looking to apply for a Tourist Visa so I could explore Muay Thai. The validity of the Visa seems to be for 60 days. 

Post that can I travel to a nearby country by road for a day or two and reapply for one month Visa extension at Thailand Border?

TLDR : Answer Summary

An Indian citizen can obtain a Tourist Visa for Thailand valid for 60 days. However, extensions for this visa cannot be applied at the border; they must be done at an immigration office. Additionally, Indian citizens are not eligible for extensions on tourist visas. There is also a restriction on obtaining a Visa on Arrival (VOA) at land borders.

Tourist visas give you 60 days in Thailand.

No one can apply for an extension at the border. Extensions are applied for at an immigration office. But people from India are not eligible for an extension on a tourist visa.

You also cannot leave and get a VOA at a land border as land borders do not allow you to apply for visa on arrival.
