( interesting) . My questions are , should I do a visa run ( my first ) . Or extend visa at Ranong immigration , and not risk refusal and abandonment of said lady in Ranong , . Have a Uk passport , will cross with 10000 baht and 300£ English, photos and will get hotel in Ranong , so an address ( or use Dee’s in Khon-Kaen) oh have brand new 10$ note , I’m really asking because reading posts here the last few days getting concerned about re entry after multiple visits and the reaction from lady at airport on my 3rd entry , cheers , Rob
TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry revolves around whether to perform a visa run or extend a 30-day visa at Ranong immigration. The user has a UK passport and is concerned about re-entry after multiple visits to Thailand, especially considering a visa extension previously issued. They are seeking advice on the best course of action while considering their Thai girlfriend and the necessary documentation for either option.
