Hi i have metv, and want to do visa run in mae sai border, is it possible next month...tnx!

Answer summary

The user intends to perform a visa run at the Mae Sai border while holding a METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa). A commenter clarifies that this is not a visa run but a 'border bounce,' which involves exiting Thailand, briefly entering another country, and then re-entering Thailand. This process can activate another entry on the METV or provide visa-exempt entry.

you wouldn't be doing a visa run <- that's where you go to a thai consulate and BUY a visa

You'd be doing a 'border-bounce' <- that's where you go to the border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in&out of another country and then stamp back into thailand to get either a visa exempt entry or to activate another entry on a multi-entry visa.

Yes you can go there to border bounce and activate another 60 day entry on your visa
