Dear Thai Advice Group, Excited to be arriving in CM soon! Very excited! Coming to Chiang Mai 8/8/18 getting a 3 month visa from Thai Consulate in Houston. Consulate requires a departure ticket as well. Which city is best to visa-run from CM to insure best chance for immediate reentry? How soon should I depart for the visa run before 3 month expiration? Which is better, plane or bus? If bus, which bus system to use? If plane, which airline to use? Can I purchase bus ticket online? Thank you in advance. My best, Guy Monroe.
