ORIGINAL POSTERAfter lots of reasearch and not many results I thought I would come on here and ask about the DTV visa run.
I currently have an injury in my back so want to do the most "back friendly" option to renew my dtv visa... I hear we can return same day... so Im looking for a sleeper bus really...
Does anyone know of a same day (Or travel overnight) visa run service with comfy sleeper chairs... and not the coach style chair which lean back about 30 degrees theyre really uncomfortbale too I pref want something laying down. If anyone has any options please let me know :) thanks for helping!

I don't really recommend traveling by bus in here. Roads are dangerous, especially if a many hours journey is involved. Said so, taking a flight to a very near place, like less than one hour flight, would be better.

Or the train. You can take a sleeper train to the border with Malaysia and/or Laos.

After almost an hour, you still haven't told us where in Thailand you're staying. I thought you asked for help.

Just to clarify, you already have a visa so won't be doing a visa run you are doing a border bounce. Where in Thailand are you?

Maybe you should tell where you are?

Fly is your best option. Cheap same day flights to most countries, HK and KL I'd recommend.
