Hi not long ago I asked about mae sai border run, thank you all for your answers! One more questions, my 10 month old son holds a thai passport, would I be able to do the border run with him or will I need to go alone?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is asking whether they can do a Mae Sai border run with their 10-month-old son who holds a Thai passport, or if they would need to go alone. The comments suggest considerations around required documentation, possible restrictions at the border, and alternative visa options based on marriage.

Id' say just GO do the border bounce without lugging your half thai child with you. I mean what if you get there and they DON'T let them cross with you? What then.

Are you married by chance? If you are, I suggest getting an extension of stay based on marriage for a Thai husband. I understand they don't need need to show proof of funds.

Hmmm.....I wonder since you are not Thai if you will need added documents to prove you are Mother ...???

okay, so you have no visa but an Extension of Stay, nice to clear that part. Requirements differ at immigration offices, but normally it should be copy of passport, extension of stay, tm 6 departure card, birth certificate, copy passport of the child, registration blue house book, address registration tm30 . If you want to be sure, just ask a hand out as you have to visit them anyway to cancel your Extension of Stay based on study

You went every 90 day for a border run with your 1 year visa?
Robert *******
or just cancel the ED visa and apply for the 60 days Extension of Stay for family visit, no need to go to the border
Robert *******
If you're ED visa is actually a big stamp from the immigration office with the text Extension of Stay permitted up to ../../.. make sure this is cancelled on the day you go to Mea Sai border, otherwise the send you back to cancel it first

i just wonder why doing border runs, but okay. Worst case scenario you have to ask one of the girls in a shop in the area to take care for an hour, but i guess the birth certificate will do
