Answer summary
The community discusses whether to use an agent or go solo for a visa run from Thailand to Myanmar via Ranong. Opinions are varied; some recommend going solo due to affordability and the chance to negotiate with 'fixers' at the port, while others find using an agent for a smooth experience worthwhile. There are mentions of transportation costs, including cab fares and bus services, as well as tips on necessary documentation and interactions at the border.
