Hi everyone. I am a U.S.A. citizen, on Koh Phangan, needing to do a visa run, wanting a 60 day tourist visa, and have to get it done by March 9. What are your suggestions at this time for the most comfortable, efficient, and decently priced? I feel overwhelmed with the possibilities and also I get car sick really easily, so wanted to avoid the vans I've heard you all mention being questionable. Best versions of this trip at this time? thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A U.S. citizen on Koh Phangan needs to complete a visa run for a 60-day tourist visa by March 9. Suggestions include taking a train from Surat Thani to Butterworth (Malaysia) and then a quick ferry to Penang, as a comfortable travel alternative to vans, especially for those prone to car sickness.
