Is it possible to extend my stay in Thailand after using a 2+1 tourist visa by crossing to Myanmar and then applying for a VOA?

Thailand Visa Tourist Visa Visa Extension Visa on Arrival Mai Sai Border Crossing Immigration Rules

Jun 10, 2019

ORIGINAL POSTER

Quick sanity check please. Been here for the months on a 2 + 1 tourist visa.  Arrived by air into Chiang Mai. Plans have changed and we would like another 50 days here.  In thinking just head to Mai Sai and land cross, then back for the first month VOA, then extend at immigration by another month.  Does this sound sensible. (no land crossings done at all in the past 24 months). Thanks.

They are considering crossing into Myanmar via the Mai Sai border to obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) and then extending their stay at immigration.
