How safe are visa land border runs using mini-vans in Thailand?

@Brian ******

if you had stayed there long enough, you would have been able to witness plenty of passengers getting denied entry

he wrote "land border runs". BKK is Suvarnabhumi, DMK is Don Mueang. If he uses a "Visa Run Company" take him to the land border, the border bounce is guaranteed. If he tries it by himself via the air, it is NOT guaranteed

@Nongnuch *******

. Entry is NEVER guaranteed for anyone . The sooner you realise that the better. Visa run company without a visa , cool.

@Steven **************

you don't do a visa run when you bounce at a land border. it is a visa run if you enter a neighbour country to apply for a visa on the Thai embassy/consulate. A "Visarun Company" that takes you to a land border, will check your stamp history and will be able to tell you if you can bounce or not. They guarantee their service because they got their "connections" at the border. You do NOT have this kind of guarantee if you fly. Except maybe if you pay for a VIP Airport Pass, these services are similar. In the recent months/weeks, hundreds of passengers who tried a second 60-days visa-exempt entry at both airports, have been denied entry. So please take my advice and don't say you haven't been warned

@Nongnuch *******

. Don't need your advice . Lived here 8 years with no entry issues via air because I've always held a visa or extension that matches the reason I'm here. Keep peddling your advice to use a dodgy service to circumvent thai law. You should really check what you say before replying because you contradict yourself.

of course if you always use the proper visa that fits your purpose, no problem. But that was NOT the question of the OP, he is d4finitley talking about a visa exemption . . . . . I am travelling in Thailand since 30 years, I have been on a yearly extension of stay permit since 17 years and I am participating in visa advice groups since the internet started. I even have my own visa advice group and I am highly respected by all members
