Is the border between Chiang Cong and Chiang Sen suitable for a visa run with my DTV visa?
My DTV visa period is approaching 6 months, so I'm planning to do a visa travel by land. Is the border between ChiangCong and ChiangSen becoming a visarun situation?

Yes, but I’d be careful. Chiang Khong–Huay Xai is still commonly used for DTV border runs, but policies and immigration practices can change. It’s best to check recent reports before going.You could also consider reading a book or two before your trip. I’d recommend Unlock Thailand by Isla Rey on Amazon—it includes all the info and insights you need. You should check it out. A very good companion.
