For those who regularly visit Thailand and want to stay longer than a few months, the term “visa run” is well known. You leave the country to return immediately. Thailand has several neighboring countries where this is possible. And both Myanmar and Cambodia can be reached by bus from Bangkok. As a result, they may be much cheaper options than, say, a flight to Malaysia, for example.
