where is exactly? Is there any visa agency?Anthony ********
@Burak *****
is on the border of nam rom district of chanthaburi and Cambodia. You don't need a visa agency. Just turn up. You will be met by usually a young woman or man. They will take your 1600b and guide you over the border and back.Will *********
Ok..if you need a visa, then you must go to the consulate or Embassy that issues them. E.g Laos, Vientiane or Savannakhet. Or Cambodia or Penang or even Singapore.
Otherwise just pick a border, stay in the other place overnight and come back
Don't forget it isn't a race, you can take your time ymto visit the other country

do you already hold aDTV?Will *********
Where are you in Thailand? What type of visa? ..or is it just 60 day visa free entry?

Burak Kurt I've not done a DTV. If you already have the visa you are allowed multiple entries....maxumum stay of 180 days? So that would require just keavu g and returning to re-activate your visa. As I understand it, if you hold a DTV, you can leave and re-enter Thailand as many times as you want without having to apply for a re-entry permit.
If you haven't got a DTV yet, the best way is to get one online - it requires proof of funds. - at least 500,000 Thai Baht
