What is the actual extension period for American citizens entering Thailand from Laos via land?

You definitely have a gift

@Tod ********

!

well man you must have white hair eh... lol

people from 45 countries get 30 day visa exempt entries at land border crossings (no matter the country they cross from) BUT they can only get TWO of them in a calendar year. (Which means the year resets on Jan 1st 2018)

Here's the Notice;

Sorry but she doesn't know what she's talkin' about :/

She didn't get a 30 day extension on anything. :/

She got a 30 day visa exempt entry when she entered the country.

It had nothing to do with her previous tourist visa at all.

The thai embassy website is wrong, Since Dec 31st 2016 they went back to 30 day visa exempt entries by land BUT put a limit of TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land in a calendar year.

She also didn't do a "visa run" because that's where you go to a thai consulate in another country and BUY a visa for thailand.

What she did was a "border-bounce" where she went to the border, stamped out of thailand, stamped in&out of another country and then stamped right back into thailand ;)
