Hi, does anybody have a recommendation for border run/ visa run by land from Koh Chang? Cambodia is nearest. But border is closed at the moment.

Thank you 🙏

Answer summary

The discussion revolves around finding alternatives for a border run from Koh Chang due to the Cambodia border closure. Suggestions include traveling to Kuala Lumpur (KUL) as a budget option using low-cost airlines, with others suggesting flights to destinations like Bangkok or Siem Reap. There's also mention of possibly reaching Laos or questioning the meaning of a border run.

A very long way up to Laos or a long way to Bangkok and then a plane to a neighboring country.

Not a lot of great choice. Flu Trat to BKK then onto KL, Siem Reap or Phu Quoc.

DMK to KUL is the cheapest location due to all the low-cost airlines using KUL as their hub

Or BKK/DMK to SGN depending on your passport you might need a visa for Vietnam

Good Luck
