ORIGINAL POSTER

After 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.
