TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses various options for border runs from Bangkok, primarily to Cambodia, with suggestions for travel logistics, costs, and expected visa durations. Several users recommend early morning flights and provide contact for services that facilitate these border runs. The dialogue also touches on recent changes to visa exempt policies and the types of visas granted at border crossings.

Would you get 30 or 60 days?
Graham ******
@John ******
If you mean for Visa Exempt all VE extries are 60 days
John *******
@Graham *****
Thank you
Stephen ********
I thought that all border crossings to prove exit had been stopped unless they are by air
Graham ******
@Stephen *******
You thought wrongly. What has stopped since Visa Exempt has been 60 days is the limit of two land border VE entries per calendar year.

I don't personally do border runs however I do know people in Bangkok who do but I am not sure of the company's name .

I believe there are several..

My friends usually leave from somewhere near On Nut BTS station I believe..

So but that's about all I know.

If you want the cheapest and easiest way…buy a ticket from DMK - UBP for early morning then take a tuktuk/grab/bolt to the border from the airport…do a border bounce…return to the airport and return to DMK in the afternoon…super easy

@Jeremy *******
ChongMek border charge a “Fee” when entering & exiting the same day, look at ChongMek border on Google
Jeremy ********
@Rob *****
a RT ticket to DMK- UBP is only ฿1,900 THB…grab or car RT is probably ฿1,800 RT…visas and your day pass fee…is still worth it for not having to sit in a cramped van for 12 hours…

@Jeremy *******
Depends what you value more, money or time, You said “cheapest & easiest way”, Might be the easiest but not the cheapest

@Rob *****
there is only 1 thing in life you can get back and that my friend is…time…so I value that over everything
