Can I cross into Myanmar from Ranong for a 180-day visa extension from Chumphon?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Has anyone recently gone to Ranong then crossed into Myanmar for their 180 day extension? We are going to be in Chumphon so only 2 hours away, so thought it would be nice and easy. We have our own car,so we'd drive down, drop off the car and hop onto a boat, ideally coming back the same day. I've been in and out 5 times so far on DTV and not had any problems, but that was flying. Also how much should this cost me?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the feasibility of driving from Chumphon to Ranong for a quick border crossing into Myanmar to obtain a 180-day visa extension. They've previously completed this process by flying but seek a more direct method. Comments from the community suggest that trips organized from Hua Hin are available, with assistance from local visa services. The overall process has been described as quick and uncomplicated, with costs noted to be relatively low, comprising a few hundred baht for the boat and minimal fees for entering Myanmar.

I think it's just a few hundred baht for the boat trip and a little bit of money for the Myanmar side. Shouldn't cost much at all

Now they are traveling to the border with Myanmar in an organized group from Hua Hin; the price needs to be inquired.
