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

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.
