ORIGINAL POSTER

Asking for a friend - I've searched the group and read that Russian citizens can't extend their 30 day visa exempt but can cross the borders an unlimited amount of time per year.

Is the Mae Sai border crossing Russian citizen friendly and is it fine to cross the same border each time every 30 days?
