Are the borders to Cambodia and Myanmar currently open for visa runs?

Okay, I'm going to go over this one more time so everyone can catch on about the difference between a VISA RUN and a BORDER BOUNCE (or at least the difference between the two on any groups I'm involved with 😛 )

𝗕𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘 <- where you go to a border, stamp out of thailand 𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘 in and out of another country, then immediately return to thailand to either enter on a new free stamp entry OR to activate a new entry on a valid multiple entry visa

𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗔 𝗥𝗨𝗡 <- where you 𝗥𝗨𝗡 to a thai consulate in another country and buy a visa for thailand then come back in.

To be completely honest, most foreigners call bouncing out/back to get a new free stamp entry a "visa run" <- probably because the companies that lug people to the borders started calling it that

But in reality there is a HUGE difference between going to get a real visa thru a thai consulate in another country and just bouncing out/back to get a new free stamp entry.

Seeing as the O/P has a lot of good info from posters about where they can border bounce and where they can't I think we've taken this post about as far as we can.

Best of luck to the O/P in their endeavors

No. Cambodian borders remain closed. There has been a mention of a reopening, which, in the best case scenario could occur as early as mid-September or early October but this is pure speculation at this stage.

The two main Burmese borders Mae Sai and Mae Sot remain closed due to crackdowns on call center scammers, thus no foreigners are allowed to cross.

Strangely, Thai immigration has removed the signs previously posted at the entrances to these border crossings advising that they're closed to foreigners.

Locals can only cross on border passes; passports are currently not recognized for border crossings.

The Phu Nam Ron border crossing is currently shut to everyone but traders and these aren't even allowed to cross more than a couple of times a week..with traders forced to exchange their goods near the borderline.

Laos is a safe option

I crossed boarder at Nong Khai , Friendship bridge to Laos. Had to pay Thai immigration 2000b bribe to get stamped out😡😡

My partner flew in OK last week end.

You can go to

Myanmar from

Ranong

I did it 10 weeks ago

and groups go 1-2 times a week from Hua Hin

Ranong Immigration is right next to the pier crossing

You can fly in. No land borders are open except possibly Ranong to Myanmar.

There are trips to Satun in the South (Malaysia) and Laos are your only options now...

My friend went to Laos. Cambodia border is close

You say Visa Run... I'm going to assume that you mean a BORDER BOUNCE to get a NEW stamp.

Suggest you check with border run service companies in Thailand....they will have the current information about making a land BORDER BOUNCE.

IF they agree to take you, it's a same day return.

If you try to do it yourself you may need to stay one or two nights in Laos to be able to return.

Check with your local expats groups on Facebook for their reports of doing a border bounce.

Currently ALL land border crossing entries for Cambodia are CLOSED to foreigners.

Myanmar land border crossing entries also are CLOSED to foreigners.

There may be a border bounce in Southern Thailand using a boat trip to Myanmar and back.
