Hi,

Was wondering if Mae Sot is still a good option for a visa run?

Thanks

Answer summary

Mae Sot is not a suitable option for obtaining a new visa directly, as there is no Thai Consulate located at the border. However, it can be utilized for border runs to exit Thailand, enter Myanmar, and then return to Thailand for a new 30-day Visa Exempt Entry or to extend a Multiple Entry Visa.

No as there is no Thai Consulate on the border to get a new visa.

It is a good place to do a border run, stamp out Thailand, stamp in/out Myanmar, stamp in Thailand for a new 30 day Visa Exempt Entry or an new period of stay with your Multiple Entry Visa.
