How many days can I stay in Thailand if I cross the border at Mae Sai and return immediately?

@Ni**

for the extension you also need a passport photo which must be 4x6 (which is slightly larger than a regular passport photo size). That's it.

@Troy ********

Yes, the 30days extension at Promenada Immigration office 🙂

@Val***

I have done two border bounces this year at Tachileik (most recent 1 month ago) and both times they took $10 without question. Years ago you used really have to argue with them over paying in dollars, this year it was zero problem.

@Joe ****

I've done it twice this year (and around 10 times before that) - they are not that picky any more with the USD. Maybe if the currency is actually ripped, but last visit (a month ago) I even paid using an old series (oval portrait) $10 bill and they accepted it without question. Previous years you REALLY had to persuade them to take $10 over 500B but this year have had zero issues.

@Niko ****

are you talking about the extension INSIDE Thailand?

hi Tod, beside paying 1900 bath, we need passport copy for photo page+30 days visa chop page, departure card (TM6) -is there any other things beside the above? Thx

They stopped taking the dollar notes for a while now.... something to do with that great exchange rate 😂😂😂

My note was as crisp as new because I had only just got it from the exhange place. I'm thinking he wanted the baht so he could have some lunch money lol

@Troy ********

- Usually they reject 10US$

if they do not look like freshly printed.

No problems though with tacky THB ;-)

@Tr**

, :/ I didn't know that, what a bummer

They didn't accept my 10 USD note back in April. I had to pay 500 baht.

@Je***

, you heard wrong :O they stopped issuing 15 days and went back to 30 days when they put the limit at 2 per year.

You can get a 30 day extension on a 30 day visa exempt entry at the immigration office for 1900baht.
