TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the possibility of extending their multiple-entry tourist visa by obtaining a 60-day extension at Maehongson after their trip to Hanoi, while others clarify that typically, only a 30-day extension is granted for tourist visas for 1900 baht. However, it is noted that each entry on a valid multiple-entry visa can grant a 60-day stamp as long as the visa is still valid during re-entry. Therefore, the user is likely eligible for an additional 60-day stamp.

Okay, let's do a crash course on how that visa works FIRST. :O

It is unlimited entries for the validity of it (6 months from the date it's issued) AND every entry gives you a 60 day stamp. :)

SO

as long as you exit/re-enter the country on or before the expiration date of the VISA (not the current entry stamp you have) which you say is April 9th, you will be stamped in for 60 more days.

You don't need to fly out and back in to get another 60 day entry stamp as long as your visa is still valid. You could bounce out and back at the Mae Sai - Tachiliek border with Myanmar.

What is the "enter before" or "must be utilized by" date on the VISA itself?

IF the visa is valid until April 9th and you bounced out and back in at the Mae Sai - Tachiliek border on the 5th of March you'd get stamped in for 60 more days.
