ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, my husband and I are South African living in Krabi, and need to do a 90 day boarder hop before the 28th March (we are on Multi-entry Non B and Non O visas) and need to get another 90 day stamp.  We usually go to Malaysia for a night, however with the Malaysian boarder closed, we are wondering if anyone knows where else we could go?

We are concerned that other boarders might close while we are in that country and then can’t get back in to Thailand.

Any suggestions welcome, thank you 🙏🏻

Nobody knows the future. And things are changing FAST. My opinion is to ether border bounce (somehow) in Rayong, Myanmar

Go TODAY or TOMORROW! DO NOT WAIT!
